Our Cast Is Introduced, and We are Underwhelmed...
Manage episode 236401217 series 2330263
180 pages in, and we've barely left port...
This week we discussed knowing that we're reading a "Big Book," and therefore expecting more drama out of Ahab as character. We also wondered whether, if we'd read Moby-Dick when it first was published, would we have been bored out of our minds by this point?
Books we reference:
- "A History of the World in Six Glasses" by Tom Standage
- "Banana: the Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World" by Dan Koeppel
Palate cleansers:
- Megan - "Educated: A Memoir" by Tara Westover
- Pete - Watched the film "Burning" based on the Haruki Murakami short story "Barn Burning," which is based on the William Faulkner short story "Barn Burning."
- Jennie - This Land podcast and Galavant TV show
- Alex - Apollo 11: Beyond the Moon podcast and the Apollo 11 documentary film
