TOILETLORD posted:i made it half way through moby dick realized i didn't pay attention for like the last 50 pages and didn't know what i was reading and said gently caress it. I got an audiobook of Moby Dick read by Dick Muller, and he really sells it. I don't think I could have had the patience to read it, and the language is so good that it benefits from being read aloud. Also reading King Leopold's Ghost. You almost have to admire his evil genius but dude was a dick. It takes work to have the most brutal colony of the 19th and 20th centuries.
