What are you guys reading this week? :marseyreading:

So, I started reading Moby Peepee, and I didn’t expect this book would be so funny. I’m currently on chapter 13, and up to this point Ishmael and Queequeg had so many “no homo” moments. Can’t wait for the Captain Ahab chapters.

I’ve also finished “It” by Stephen King. It was my first King book, and god, I didn’t expected for it to be 50% filler, so many pointless :marseylongpost2: and endless backstories of side characters that never show up again, plus the creepy child gangbang :marseypedo: near the end had some “50 shades of Grey” tier writing. A friend of mine recommended me “The Shining” but l’m not quite sure anymore.

What do you guys recommend?

I like the bit in Moby Peepee when he thinks going to church might set his mind at rest and instead he gets a ranting madman in the pulpit who thinks getting eaten by a whale is preferable to going to Portugal.

Recommend 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea for more nautical manliness with Ned Land- the most heterosexual Canadian in literature.

I'm reading Robots and Empire by Asimov. I'm reading all the Robots, Empire and Foundation books in their diegetic chronological order.

Lmao, the schizo priest just kept ranting about Jonah in the most Shakespearean way. Also Ishmael acts in the most neurodivergent way as possible with anyone he interacts with

Ishmael is an 1860s hustle-bustler, going to experience the dynamic diversity and exposed red brick walls of Nantucket.

And then he gets BLACKED during a onenightstand by a giant BBC attached to a man named Queequeg. Out of shame, he enlists in the Pequod. But who should he find is also there? You guessed it.

Awkwardness ensues for 700 pages

I was laughing through the entire fricking church scene. The fricking whale town’s church only does the the fricking whale sermon. God that fricking chapter describing Nantucket as the Most Whale Town Ever was so funny and the church just sent me over the edge :marseyxd:

:marseybased: Don’t watch Apple TV’s Foundation they made Daneel a generic mayo foid. :marseydisagree:

I don't think the makers of that show knew Demerzel and Daneel were the same person.

However, If if one watches that show without thinking of it as an adaptation, and simply enjoys large amounts of Lee Pace shirtlessness, then it's OK.

Nope.

I have a cousin who's been to Brazil. She was traumatised- like those Japanese tourists who go to Paris.
