I'm listening the "The Nightland" by WH Hodgeson. Don't know if I can stand the bondage and very sexual double entendres much longer. π«€ I thought this was hard core science fiction gothic fiction. π«₯π€―πΉ
They are quite long slightly weird involved chapters that seem to be perfectly paced and timed to rub one out ...lol

the first two chapters were cutesy, then 9 chapters of good science fiction, now two chapters of edging
I recommend it as an interesting and new experience
there is another 7 hours of this
I am starting to question my interpretation of the science fiction chapters
I didn't know science fiction entailed that...
There was that one Philp Jose Farmer book.
More than one. The guy got fixated on particular topics.
How very Shakespearean country matters. Iβm all in for some good smut, but stuff written circuitously to avoid the censors doesnβt do it at all. No horny hobbits.
Odd that you would speak of hobbits , the first half of the book be very much like the journey to erebor, very very
