I need a BOAT (even a small one)

>The Iliad
He might be better of with The Odissey for boat-points.

>I need a BOAT (even a small one)
That's a ship mate.

>The Iliad

>>18484832
There’s a whole catalogue of boats in the Iliad

>>18484844
Its really about who's on them and where they came from

>>18484844
And yet a catalogue is not itself the narrative of the Iliad. The actual story takes place entirely on land, with some light ship burning elements. If all it takes to be "boat kino" is reference to a boat, or boats, just go look at a fucking hobbyist fishing magazine.

Yep, the most infamously boring part in the book.

most anything Joseph Conrad
Moby Dick

u gotta read mobby dock

>>18484662
Just finished it, excellent!

I hate the word kino so much. It sounds like POC slang for illegal pussy

>>18485033
Obligatory

obviously moby dick. it felt like i was on a boat when i read it. i could smell the salty ocean, fell the rolling waves rock the boat, hear the seagulls in the air, imagine the bitter wind pinching my face.

I'm a little over halfway through Poe's 'The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket' and am enjoying it so far.
I've heard it gets silly towards the end though.

Redwall books.

Ahab rapes the white whale, Mocha.

>>18488673
ehh idk man. could just be your perverted imagination. pip was kind of feminine yes and it was a strange interaction to me but it was a different time. i think it was just an innocent relationship where ahab felt bad for the kid.

>>18484662
White Jacket is Melville's nonfiction account of the US Navy. It's amazing.

>>18485269
checked, this

>>18487091
yeah, that's a great read. I thought about reading Moitessier, as he seems quite the based fellow - the race in 1968 is also interesting in featuring all different seamanship.

>>18488673
>Ahab rapes pip
I kek'd. That would explain his trauma.
The lil nigga saw the GREAT WHITE DICK and never more was the same since then.

>>18492499
his trauma was from falling off the boat dumbass it defined his character.

>>18492600
>his trauma was from falling off the boat dumbass it defined his character.
I know, dumbfuck. That's just a joke, lad.

joseph conrads youth is pretty short but high boat kino

>>18484662
>too much suspension of disbelief
Just have headcanon that she slept with everyone and everything clicks in place.

>>18492497
Moitessier is good, his first and second books are quite different. He developed some guilt over publishing the first during the first Golden Globe, possibly from mental issues, possibly he was always just a bit off, mainly he overthought during that long isolation on his boat. A Voyage for Madmen is a great read regarding that race.

The old man and the sea

>But if we Southern whale-fishers are not so snugly housed aloft as Captain Sleet and his Greenlandmen were; yet that disadvantage is greatly counter-balanced by the widely contrasting serenity of those seductive seas in which we South fishers mostly float. For one, I used to lounge up the rigging very leisurely, resting in the top to have a chat with Queequeg, or any one else off duty whom I might find there; then ascending a little way further, and throwing a lazy leg over the top-sail yard, take a preliminary view of the watery pastures, and so at last mount to my ultimate destination.
