2025.09.09 // Waking up and not knowing what to read is worse than waking up with your last pack of Spirits on empty. The drive to read the next book I've *planned* is overwhelm---What's this? Moby-Dick; or, the Whale? The Arion 1983 paperback edition I picked up for $5 because it looks like someone dipped the edges in the UV machines they use in hotel air purifiers? Don't mind if I do.

This copy of Moby-Dick is a reprint of an unbelievably fancy version from four years earlier. Some gorgeous hand-set thing that sold for $1k *in 1979*. You can now pick one up for $22,000, or $50k if you'd like the white-bound version.
