I like how they balance each other out, but god how slow the first 1/4 of this book has gone

ok their friendship is cutey

lol wow "I hate papists. well, I hate paperwork, so." doesn't know a Catholic from an Irish men, and hates everyone because a random girl he was banging said he should. simple bitch

I like Stephen real bad. He's like ugh bitch you live like this?

boring

no plot just boat

Talk about a blockbuster page turner.

tbh this is background noise, there's a lot going on about ship rigging and stuff but barely any plot so far

this slaps harddddd

love thisssss

can't believe I've never read this before.

is it the navy in Britain? I refuse to learn

Every American should have to read this book. Every Israeli should have to read this book. Every person who is not in Gaza. Everyone.

"I changed the order of my books on the shelf. Two days later a war broke out. Beware of changing the order of your books."

This and certain sentences in Frankenstein in Baghdad are so illustrative of just how fucking stupid and pointless and out of nowhere and totally without cause on a human level these fuckass wars are.

Reading this along with Frankenstein in Forest of Noise: Poems by Moses Abu Toha.
while the United States fights a losing war that we started with Iran an Israel continues to commit genocide in Palestine.
