At the Mountains of Madness

Tediously painful. So much detail, so little action, and almost no emotion in the book. The first sentence of chapter 6'It would be cumbrous to give a detailed, consecutive account of our wanderings inside that cavernous, aeon-dead honeycomb of primal masonry'Unfortunately the rest of the book described the cumbrous, detailed, consecutive account of their wonderings inside the cavernous, aeon-dead honeycomb of primal masonry. I found the writing too dry and dull.
This is a summary of the whole book so it contains spoilers(view spoiler)
That's the whole book in under 50 words. But I found it uninteresting so I wasn't taking much in so there may be mistakes or omissions. I think there was a 4 by 6 by 8 foot rock they passed at some point, and something was at 40 Latitude, 80 E. Longitude...etc or something similar to that. I just couldn't find the motivation or interest to concentrate and enjoy this book.

I am always reading on Goodreads that people can only yawn when they read this or that book. Well, like you, I thought this one broke all records: I can get through most things and try to enjoy the good aspects but I can't remember being so bored for a very long time.
I bet you would enjoy this book more if you learned how to read.
You made a simple mistake of reading it as a book, instead of listening to the audiobook by Wayne June.
