so-soSecond book completed for #StaycationReadathon.
Although the Endurance expedition of 1914 was an astonishing feat of survival, the telling of it is quite repetitious. This is no fault of the author- by the men's own admissions in journal excerpts boredom was often as great a threat to survival as anything else. It's unquestionably heroic, but just not that interesting to read about.
HardcoverHearts This book has stayed with me since I originally read it in like 1997. No matter how horrible my day or week has been, I always default to - “Could be worse. I could have been on the Endurance.” 😂 7y
2BR02B @HardcoverHearts very true! And they did remarkably little complaining, all things considered. 7y
