Good god that first Ulysses chapter was everything

I feel like this is what would happen if you could peer into the thoughts of that one guy — yeah, that guy — in your o Chem class

Holy crap tower of Babylon was such a fascinating and beautiful story

Corn. Pigs. Meatpacking. A lake. What more could you ask for?

Love the little sequences where a character exists just to express technical information about whatever Crichton wants to pontificate on

Damn Michael Crichton kind of racist in this one so far, at least there’s one character who kind of isn’t racist???

Why they be doing Michelangelo like that

Whole lotta agony not a lot of ecstasy rn

Michelangelo was on such an insane grind set during this part of the book, b-school kids listen up !!!

Just over halfway through and mans just finished David, like chop chop bro let’s get going

Great quote:
“Then, for you, sculpture is a search.”
Michelangelo smiled shyly.
“Isn’t it, for all artists? Every man sees truth through his own funnel. I feel about each new figure the way an astronomer does each time he discovers a new star: one more fragment of the universe has been filled in. Perhaps if I could draw every male on earth I could accumulate the whole truth about man.”
