I don’t know what to call it. John Muir is awesome. So poetic, interested in all the things I’m interested in, inspires me to get out there and go hiking (as if I needed more motivation?) – yet, his work is… I don’t know what to call it… “heavy”… the opposite of light reading. I’m just slogging through it. I don’t know if I really like it, but it’s definitely beautifully quotable. It’s leaving me with so many mixed feelings.
Malazan books. I read the first three and burned out. Amazing Storia but they see told in such an arcane way that it’s like pushing through thick undergrowth to read a page
Lol yeah Carl Jung’s Red Book lol
I loved Moby Dick but it was a slow read!
Nabokov takes me a long time but that’s more because every word is so beautifully and perfectly chosen that it really pays to take your time over it.
