Whaling: Not for the faint of heart

Big Book Club's "What the Whale!"

This week we tackled the most action packed reading yet, chapters 60-70, in which we encountered bloody whale killing, racial stereotyping, and ugly power structures.

Palate cleansers:

  • Megan - "Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nuter, Witch" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
  • Jennie - "Sixth The Musical"
  • Alex - "Somewhere Only We Know" by Maureen Goo
  • Pete - "The Pandemic Century: One Hundred Years of Panic, Hysteria, and Hubris" by Mark Honigsbaum and  "Circe" by Madeline Miller
