I’m currently reading “The Number of the Beast” by Robert Heinlein. Book is from the 1980s, and there’s a completely doubled up paragraph in the book! It spans two pages but the image shows enough I think.

I have a copy of Moby Dick with a second book printed in the middle of it. \s
I need this joke explained. If I read that book in school, I don’t recall anything about it sorry,
Melville goes on tangents for entire chapters, namely about whales and whaling practices.
Also, ‘Moby Dick’ is great as an audiobook narrated by Frank Muller. Got the old-timey feel that fits perfectly.
Ah! I was telling my brother how Heinlein couldn’t seem to complete a thought without going on a tangent. But for CHAPTERS! Hah I love it.
I’ve noticed this is kinda common in scifi, it’s a chance for people to bloviate about their profession or hobby. So yeah there’s a lot of side quests.
