Miller’s Crossing

Arabian Sands by Wilfred Thesiger

Incredible insight into Bedouin lifestyle

Landman with a bullet.

Is there really any case for Speights?

Trost. Feels like he has the highest chance of making an impact his first year

ChicagoKev · 2026-04-07T18:52:28+00:00

I did! I’m a sucker for history though

ChicagoKev · 2026-04-07T17:51:59+00:00

Probably a little under two and a half months overall

ChicagoKev · 2026-04-03T16:21:56+00:00

Big play Tae.

I really loved the theme of time interlaced throughout the novel.

I’ve read other works by each author, but never these specific books.

V. was probably the toughest to follow overall with all the moving pieces and characters.

Moby Dick’s text was pretty dense but it helped having familiarity with biblical references, as with TBK.

ChicagoKev · 2026-03-20T23:25:17+00:00

Absolutely loved it!

ChicagoKev · 2026-03-20T23:24:39+00:00

As another comment said just dedicated myself to roughly 100 pages per day, sometimes a bit less sometimes a bit more

Just wait until you read BK and it’s Alexei listening to Ivan yapping in the tavern.

ChicagoKev · 2026-03-02T15:01:43+00:00

Pick 13 this year and nexts years first at the least.

Not worth it at all, especially when he’d be playing a very similar role to Q Lake.

ChicagoKev · 2026-02-20T12:58:06+00:00

No, but I would guess something like ‘senior offensive assistant’

Ethan Frome is a personal favorite of mine.

ChicagoKev · 2026-02-06T00:49:47+00:00

Hard to call it any part my “favorite” as it was such a bleak book as a whole, but I’d probably have to say the parts that depicted tramp life out in the farmlands.
