Books that aren't full of made-up bullshit about whales Moby Dick is worth reading once, its a batshit rollercoaster mix of a well written piece of fiction with whole chapters of non-fiction and big chunks of a play with stage direction and everything. Its a stretch, but it kind of feels to other fiction the way Dwarf Fortress feels to other video games. No sane person would every develop either but the result is something wholly unique.

What is a kindergarden teacher with her little pea shooter going to do? The average school teacher has a level of physical courage far in excess of the average cop. They're not allowed to shoot students who are having tantrums, for example, or parents who get aggressive.

Mister Speaker posted:I'm about halfway through Moby Dick for the first time and yeah, not only is it an incredibly dense read full of the flowery language of the 1840s, but the nautical stuff is confusing. It's rather satisfying in the rare occasion when I come across a sailor's term I do understand. Reading through the milhist thread prepared me for all the obscure military units in book of the new sun
