At least when I was that sort of person, I pushed through the agony that was hero of ages. I didn't know these wimps read the summary and ticked it off while I worked so hard.
Last straw was I heard people listen to the audiobook of stormlight to finish it.
This is baloney to me.

Lol, and I’d phrased it so carefully so that no one could accuse me of liking Brian Herbert, and had apparently successfully obliviated that Bellamort road accident from my memory. Curse *you* for reminding me.
And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them
Three spiders?!! I dont think theres any moment in their existence where their aware that you exist…so they just keep existing, end times or not, whether ur there or not
…😞ur so unordinary…i dont understand the appeal of keeping animals you cant snuggle with as pets, i think i would bond better with a tamagotchi than a spider…
Closing the sub for a joke wasn't OK.
I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the whole point of this sub to make fun of circle jerking around books and other dumb stuff? That's how most circlejerk subs work. Instead this sub seems to be mostly a bunch of pseudo intellectual losers who can't handle something they don't like being popular

In 2024, as more and more Americans are forced into labor camps for being nonbinary and the hordes of the Great Khan encircle our towns, demanding our women and children as slaves, at least we have this comment to rally around
In other news, I'm starting a Christian Nationalist book club (we only talk about the Bible and only then the Book of Job because we have the hardest lives)
What are you? A wage cuck? What do you need all that money for? Buying books? To *read* them?
People like you are the reason this place is closing down. Shame on you.
Damn this is almost exactly like when the 7th Royal Tank Regiment was defeated at Gazala in “The Matilda” by Bryan Perrett. Very sad, very dark times indeed. Hopefully we can get our own 10th RTR to take over our name, traditions, and general existence.
I'll never know if your references to the events on "The Matilda" by Bryan Perrett are actually accurate to the text because I don't know how to read, nor I'm willing to learn. How ableist of you to talk about reading a book. Classist, too. I hate you, but if the sub were to close for real, I know the Matilda III-shaped hole you've left on my heart will never be filled again.
I'd kiss you goodbye. You stupid r*eader baka. 😢
So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message - You are not alone.

Please note: BCJ to be permanently closed as of 12 noon EST tomorrow, April 28th, 2024.
After much thought and discussion, the mods of BCJ have decided to - as the kids say these days - unalive the sub for various reasons stemming from the rise of Christian Nationalism, the impending turmoil over the coming elections in Lichtenstein and the incipient creep of toxic positivity in the sub. No discussion will be conducted regarding this and we apologize if these leaves any of you feeling unsafe.
Cheers, regards, and wuedersehen, etc. It wasn't that fun, and it wasn't that interesting, but it 2as a thing that happened. RIP.

edit: hmmm. well there's nothing in the mod messages from anybody so i dunno folks. i guess we're permanently closed. how's everybody feeling about it?
also i wish i could pin my own comment that would be convenient fucking reddit
Damn you know if I could fucking read I'm sure I'd be mad at whatever the hell you just said. Now Siri, stop recording this text and play some moaning sounds. Stop recording this text and play fucking fuck you Siri suck my dick.
Its pretty clear RL Stine went for what would now be called a 'soft magic system'. Of course, he obviously never thought much into the world he was writing in. Once, a fan asked him for some more backstory on one of his villains, he just told the fan to 'get a life'.

The bookscirclejerk community is barbaric. Its predominantly 15 year old children with the mods being 35 year olds with a BA in English working at McDonald's. It makes sense why they are so toxic. They are all dissatisfied with life, I would be too if I had no friends. After all, if your only source of humor is bullying, it makes sense why you have no friends at school. I know there are some teachers there. It's so strange to me, how can someone so hateful and egotistical be a teacher?

What the fuck loser response to defending the guy who for whom reading made a positive impact is this?
Banned for that? Banned for having an extensive history and education related to the subject?
It's not ironic.
At all.
Perhaps YOU should look up irony?
It kinda makes MY point.
Loser.
Yer a bully.
Which makes you a loser.

I KNEW those Lichtensteiner fucks were behind all of this book bullshit.
Anybody else DNF this post?
Just read the summary so you can tick it off on Goodreads
At least when I was that sort of person, I pushed through the agony that was hero of ages. I didn't know these wimps read the summary and ticked it off while I worked so hard. Last straw was I heard people listen to the audiobook of stormlight to finish it.
What’s DNF mean?
branDoN Frickin sanderson!
Reading, but only the good part.
Finally I can read Harry Potter in peace and read nothing else.

I prefer the 1984 movie… no… wait… that’s Dune. I prefer the HP fanfic.
Cursed Child??? You like that trash???
Lol, and I’d phrased it so carefully so that no one could accuse me of liking Brian Herbert, and had apparently successfully obliviated that Bellamort road accident from my memory. Curse *you* for reminding me.
Please tell me this is a joke
With this guy, who has legitimately banned people for breaking character by admitting to reading, it might not be
Sounds perfectly serious to me. The writing’s on the wall…the mods seem to hv given up some time ago…
No wall deserves such a fate
Not even the Berlin wall?
Ofc even the warring soviets and Americans came together to tear down that wall after the Berlin hippies started scribbling on it
Smutty pictures of kissing presidents are good, text is icky
if you're AGAINST the anti-fascist wall you are FOR fascism and therefore also FOR literally 1984
Given up?! Jeez I poured my soul into this place every day. My rotten, spider-filled soul!
You must be that beneficent spider who draped memories
And you O my soul where you stand, Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space, Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them
❤️🕸
i have three and i love them. i wonder what will happen to them in these end times...
Three spiders?!! I dont think theres any moment in their existence where their aware that you exist…so they just keep existing, end times or not, whether ur there or not
That's cool, that's like most things
…😞ur so unordinary…i dont understand the appeal of keeping animals you cant snuggle with as pets, i think i would bond better with a tamagotchi than a spider…
It was a joke last time when the same mod threatened to purge the sub. It would be funny if it were real this time though.

Mfs tried to post a novel on their way out the door. Fuck you mods I have never come here to read words and I'm not gonna start now!
Novel?? More like the last death rattle…
In other news, I'm starting a Christian Nationalist book club (we only talk about the Bible and only then the Book of Job because we have the hardest lives)
Job kinda great tho

Thanks for giving me the warning I needed so I can print off every post
Good. Way too many people writing posts for a sub opposed to reading.
it isn't r*ading if it's on a phone !!
NOOOOOOOO…..😭 a part of me just died….💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 *ashes to ashes, dust to dust*
Can you record this as an audiopost so I can read it

good, this place fucking sucks. it stopped being a book circlejerk and became a normal reddit circlejerk. 90k readers? 90k goddamn basic bitch idiots.
Are you going to re-home Automod with another sub? That cunt was the best thing about this place.
No spice. No read. DNF.
Who's the toxic positivity creep we need to oust him for being a radiohead rip-off
Still here then. \*sigh\*
WHY DOES THE PRINCIPALITY OF LICHTENSTEIN INSIST ON RUINING EVERYTHING PURE AND GOOD IN THIS WORLD?!?!?!
This is our 1984 arrr bcj

This just confirms that, as I have long suspected, the mods here are agents of Brandon Sanderson.

My magic system is so soft right now.
Literally 1984
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO edit: hmmm. well there's nothing in the mod messages from anybody so i dunno folks. i guess we're permanently closed. how's everybody feeling about it? also i wish i could pin my own comment that would be convenient fucking reddit

That seems appropriate

Say sike right now
Damn you know if I could fucking read I'm sure I'd be mad at whatever the hell you just said. Now Siri, stop recording this text and play some moaning sounds. Stop recording this text and play fucking fuck you Siri suck my dick.
May the spirit of u/abbathocculta haunt you forever!
This current mod confessed to burying u/abbathocculta, or in some unspeakable manner assimilated him…truly, he is a creature without species 😡🤬🤢🤮
Time to unjerk and admit I quite like 1984
I’m either happy for you or sorry that happened
Coward
Honestly your prose is all over the place.
😨
k
i'm taking my ~~ball~~ 200 unread books and going home
Is this fr??
Booooo! BOOOOOOOOO!!!
What am I gonna do when I can't browse this reddit? Am I gonna have to read a book? Please, God, no...
Wow. I made this audiobook of the mods’ apology to Brando Sando for no reason. https://youtu.be/AFJ1QzLt1jg?si=uGYixZMK9zw5sEEv
I’m not readin allat
FINALLY
Good
Thank God
Lol I'm not reading all that
you fucking won't, cowards
Humour is healing
Fuck this is just like my favourite Goosebumps book. Sigh.

so... is everyone going to r/books or r/romancebooks? the latter has a bigger spice level
Thank God. All the other book subs next hopefully. We'll burn them all on a giant pile and have cool symbols to spread our cause
Vronsky putting down Frou-Frou
The mods all got HIV after a gang bang at their reading club
Come on Kes We're leaving
Before I read the rest of this post can anyone tell me if I should continue? Does it get any better? Anyways 1984 blew my mind.
Finally, I can get spammed Mistborn recommendations in peace.
Is there a wiki page for this post? Maybe an urban dictionary entry? I'm lost
Where would we Brando Sando fans go then?!?!
DNF, this post needs to be an audiobook for me to care
This is just like Georg Orwall's Animal Cracker (not that I have read it mind you, I just imagine it's like this)
