Currently have “Roman Social Imaginaries: Language and Thought in the Context of Empire” sitting there, MOCKING me with its SMUGNESS, because I cracked it open, took one look, and said “Hooh boy, I’m gonna have to be in an industrious-ass mood for this one.” It’s not particularly thick in terms of length, but it’s definitely dealing with very abstract concepts.
It’s been three months, and I’ve still not found a mood ambitious and focused enough for that particular monster.
Anyone else got an end-game boss like that sitting on the shelf at the moment?
People’s History of the United States. It’s been at least a year since I picked it up, I’ll get through a chapter over a few sessions and then have to put it down for a while. It’s dense and depressing so I take it in small bits
It’s also… questionable scholarship.
