I will not give up on this book! Been a while since I’ve read much tho

I done learn:
Morris isn’t that old. Molly dancing is a form of Morris with cross-dressing and has been around for at least 300 years.

“Those who travel to Mountain Toos are half in love with themselves: and half in love with Oblivion”

Here we go.

“But it also hints at the way something more fundamental, more elemental, was broken. An unspoken connection which entwined the alterity of the earth deep into strata of our selves” - Jon Moses in Wild Service

Jon Moses may have some of the most pretentious and flowery writing I've ever read, but still, I think this book might be onto something.

I can't honestly explain what the hell JP is talking about. I went into this knowing I'd hate it, but it's just unlistenable!

Trying to listen to the audiobook and I zone out for a couple seconds only to return to another weird bible story weirdly extrapolated to the 21st century.

Is this worth finishing?!

“His childhood was dead or lost and with it his soul capable of simple joys, and he was drifting amid life like the barren shell of the moon.”

Didn’t think I’d sympathise so much with a book written over 100 years ago would be so devastating.

If by the end of this 1400 page book I cannot speak in SQL queries I will be disappointed
