🍞 📖 ♣️ (bread book club)

Congratulations to all who completed the 'How to be a good communist' book club. Let's keep the momentum going.

So how about unironically reading The Conquest of Bread? It's on Wikisource in English and French. Audio with a (significant) French accent here, and with an American accent here. Audio runs between 6 and 6½ hours.

It consists of a Preface (2412 words) and 17 chapters (totalling 69,004 words). The longest chapter (5) is 8760 words, but many are under 4000 or under 3000. (Hey Vampire why do you keep talking about word counts?? Well I'll tellya why, because if you're inviting somebody to commit to a task, they need to know the size of the task)

Could do the preface and Chap 1 today (July 26th) and read one chapter a day til Aug 4. I'd rather not start tomorrow, because then the long chapter would fall on a Monday.

If there's no interest, I'll read it by myself.
