Oh man, this is my literal favorite book. Had a really big effect on teenage me. I'm interested to know what people coming in as adults will think.

Finished the Dragon chapter and holy poo poo.


The correlation between philosophy and this book is definitely here.

I wonder what The Dragon meant by "Seek out gold and sit on it" Does he want Grendel to leave behind a legacy?

Fun fact: a large part of the Dragon's speech is taken from Alfred North Whitehead's book Process and Reality.
