imagine someone saying 'this 900 page novel was a miserable slog and I'm so relieved it's over' and then revealing they don't attend school, don't review books and nobody recommended it personally
you could've just stopped. you gave yourself detention homework

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe I've absolutely known people who made it a personal rule to never not finish a book.

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe I learned that lesson from reading Dante's Purgatorio. I had no ide at the time that there were three books, and I got that one first. Don't get me wrong, Inferno is almost as much of a slog, but at least it has some interesting bits.
