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?

I read the first book of Tu Rostro Mañana (your face tomorrow) in 2021 I think. It was great but very dense (at some point I counted 10 pages on my phone without a full stop). The second book is supposed to be even worse about this but has better reviews overall. Still trying to find the best time to start it.
