oooh the plot is thickening... I think I'll breeze through this one now

Nadal mega słabo, Boże, ta książka jest chyba po prostu pisana z nienawiścią do chłopów, takie mam wrażenie

daaaaaamn I wish I didn't have to go to sleep so I could keep reading ngl

still super one-dimensional, jesus fucking christ. this is like having to sit through someone giving a social history class and omitting more than half the story and most of the context just to give some quotes which fit their narrative. fucking hell.

to jest tak jednowymiarowe, że to jest śmiechu warte. rozwaliło mnie branie pod uwagę jako głównego wątku głosu australijskiej reżyserki. to było tak bez sensu, tak bardzo skrzywione przez jej specyficzną historię, i całkiem z dupy imo. bardzo zabawna decyzja ze strony autorki. ciekawe, co będzie dalej...

As someone with ancestry within the working rural class in Eastern Poland I'm getting a sense that this book is written from a VERY biased perspective...

damn, the plot thickens

this is such an easy and enjoyable read, and sooo well written. somehow I wasn't expecting that last part. can you guess this is my first Chuck Tingle book 😂

this is such a refreshing, well-written book to pick up after the awful writing in My Husband's Wife

Reading this after watching Querelle is a spiritual experience

Ok but the emotional responses to Torrington? I'm feeling the same, and I've never been anywhere close to Beechey. Something something the human condition that makes us care for each other...

I am absolutely loving how personal the field journeys are, the reflections and comments make it feel so much more tangible

It's so hot I can't really focus much on reading, even though this is SUCH a good book

Once I properly sit down to read this book it'll be a breeze. It's a familiar historical writing style, although the "some historian said" is SO fucking irritating. JUST FUCKING SAY WHO SAID WHAT YOU'RE QUOTING, JFCCCCCCC MANNNNNN

Strong opener, we love cannibalism.

will I get tired of reading about whales and whaling any time soon? I don't think so.

I'm so glad I've waited with coming back to this book for two years because I understand so much more about ships now and don't have to constantly look into a dictionary. hashtag practical sailing applications

the whiteness of the whale sure do be white
