  I had to quit at like 50 pages in man. It’s just a tough read, and I powered through war and peace.

  I’ve had it on my reading list for over a decade… One day I’ll get to it.

    After 170 years? A story about the young working class seeking simple comforts through ruthless ecological exploitation? And for this humble crew to be swept up in a prideful crusade towards wealth and glory lead by a charismatic madman intent on killing God? And this crusade culminates in a calamity that destroys everything their exploitative labors sought to build?

    I can’t think of any modern parallels. But if one were to arise, I could see a certain sympathetic appeal.
