Yeah don't run when wet in minus 75 degrees. That is an insane idea. Good job

discussion of a dog and a dogs lineage is always fascinating in old stories to me. Also the relationship between man and dog.

Nose guard?

I feel like we should use terms like this more often. Knowing old Britain, I want to know what they considered a nose guard and how that's changed over the years, because I know it wasn't a mask.

i feel extremely locked in once i over annotate and analyze the text with chat gpt i can feel my literary skills flowing and love it 😊

If London is tryna say this man is dumb af for thinking -no he doesnt think right- for believing he could get thru -50 just because he is « a man », and the act of needing someone to travel with is womanish, then he might be onto something. If not we might have a problem. Idc if he was a man of his time.

Im about to get a shot of espresso everytime this man reiterates the words «  it’s cold ». We get it London. Its 50 degrees below zero, maybe more. We get it. The man is really cold.

Jumpscare… a good example of how classic literature can contain harmful language, even when the story’s purpose is unrelated to race. Felt this way with agatha christie too, and people ask me why i never really pick up classics.
