First /h/lit what are you reading thread

I'm beating the jannies to the punch for that sweet, sweet dramacoin

:#marseymerchant:

I'm reading This Kind of War a history of the Korean War recommended by Mattis. It's an older book so has some very dated terminology, and an older way of thinking. But pretty solid so far, very play by play.

I've been on a huge non-fiction kick recently reading Rampage (about Japan in the Philippines.) A book about the fall of Japan whose name I don't remember

and before that The Franco Prussian War by Wawro. I've liked all of them with Rampage being the hardest to read due to crazy Japanese crimes. I think the last fiction book I read was Medicus a Roman murder mystery that was really enjoyable.

Dramatards what y'all reading?

Moby Peepee and Indian Depredations in Texas. Comanches were some sick fricks.

Moby peepee is my favourite book of all time, literally #1 (the king)

Love love love all the crazy 1800s stuff, I felt like I understood a time and a place (America) so well after reading that book. I live landlocked but started to love the ocean after that one. As Melville said, meditation and water are wedded forever :marseylove:

Heck, my flair is a quote from captain Ahab! Such badass revenge, Ahab is my favourite antagonist in western lit since he’s “an ungodly godlike man” and we all have the potential to become something like that. I heard somewhere there’s an Ahab and an Ishmael in all of us

I was expecting it to be grim the whole time from the TV versions I've seen, but it's so darn funny. "Clam or cod?"

The Old Man and the Sea made me love sashimi before actually trying it.

I love that quote, "over unsounded gorges, through the rifled heart of mountains, under torrent's beds, unerringly I rush, naught's an obstacle, naught's an angle to the iron way" - and all his ruthless determination comes to nothing in the end, that's very strong, I think.
