Read for class and I was dreading reading this book because of how boring it seemed. Somehow it was worse than I thought. Hundreds of pages of the most mundane tasks in excruciating detail, and casual racism everywhere. (I get that this is from the 1700s and that was the general attitude of the British towards racialized people so I expected it. However, reading this literally brought nothing  and was super unenjoyable to begin with, so it made reading about the racism/colonialism feel extra pointless.) I could literally not bring myself to care what happened to the main character and wasn’t interested in his story at all. There are much better classics, travel writing, survival stories, etc out there and I wish I could have read one of those instead of this absolute waste of time.
