Currently have "Roman Social Imaginaries: Language and Thought in the Context of Empire" sitting there, MOCKING me with its SMUGNESS, because I cracked it open, took one look, and said "Hooh boy, I'm gonna have to be in an industrious-ass mood for this one." It's not particularly thick in terms of length, but it's definitely dealing with very abstract concepts.

It's been three months, and I've still not found a mood ambitious and focused enough for that particular monster.

Anyone else got an end-game boss like that sitting on the shelf at the moment?

Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese. I finally put it down after trying to read it... But I may get the audiobook sometime to see if that helps

Its a thick book and beautifully written but I felt like it was slog.
