The part in the book where Joe and the freshman boys head to Poughkeepsie for the regatta and it says “The boys did not appreciate the oppressive hot and humid New York weather.” I felt that. Same, boys. Same. I live in upstate New York - I’m used to its summer weather and HATE it with a passion.
I say this as we’re in the midst of an oppressive heat wave (it reached 95 yesterday🥵)
Also, I love the part where it mentioned their coxswain tried to get away after the race but they chased him down, tackled him, and tossed him into the water🤣 At least it was probably refreshing?🤷🏻♀️
#and it’s not going away any time soon!!!!#but anyway… I feel them. this weather is disgustimg and it’s only JUNE.#I know I’m late to the party but yall have to suffer anyway I am LOVING this book!!!#the boys in the boat#TBitB#I really should’ve read it ten years ago when everyone was recommending it to me while I worked at the library#also��� the book never stopped being popular. it was on request manager at least almost every month#and the title would always make me giggle a little#but anyways for an adult nonfiction book it’s pretty darn good#I just wish Laura Hillenbrand wrote it - I think she’s a better author#though I only ever read Seabiscuit lol#anywaaaayyy
