Finished this the same day I turned in my ten page paper. Feels good.

I do hope Mann actually read the Torah cause this talk of translation's getting a little old.

Now Mann's really caught the Tolkien bug.

Devoting my evenings to this till it's through so as to avoid having to drag it back and forth across shuttles and airplanes. Though, that'll probably mean I need new checked out library stock so as to not run out over break. What to choose, what to choose.

Didn't buy any books this Black Friday, but picking this up again after more than two weeks of hectic school assigned reading's gotta count for something.

Oh, Mann. Virginity cults are never a good look for a writer.

Theocratic dictators just aren't what they used to be. Or maybe they are, and hindsight's a slag when it comes to calling absolute power corrupting absolutely what it is.

Eyyyy Akhenaten! He and Hatshepsut are my faves.

Mann needs to stop stepping out of his homoerotic dudebro writing comfort zone, cause it only results in laziness along the lines of naming this current chapter 'The Bitch'.

Oh my lord Mann how have you written an epic about Jewish people for almost a thousand pages without figuring out that witches are an anti-semitic trope.
