You might try watching one of the Fry & Laurie adaptations of the Jeeves stories. Laurie’s depiction of Bertie is brilliant.
Took me four months to read “Seven Pillars of Wisdom” by T.E. Lawrence (“of Arabia”) and I skimmed some of the details of tribes. I was reading other things at the time; could only handle so much of it at once.
Fascinating book, a mix of tedious minutia about Arab tribes and fighting the Turks in Arabia during WWI, chapters of deep philosophical musing, some shocking life details, and insight into his semi-neurotic imposter syndrome. He was an interesting guy.
