In case you couldn’t tell…
Moby-Dick is quickly becoming one of my favorite books. Melville’s style is dark, but playful, and the subject matter is, for me, riveting.
So, go pick it up.
Screw what you’ve heard about it, read it.
I’m torn on this. I was assigned Moby-Dick for my Lit. Crit. course, and had heard awful things about how long and boring it was.
As it turned out, it did feel a little long, but it was still interesting. I actually—gasp!—never finished it. I know, I’ll have to go back now and re-read it, but I’m looking forward to doing so at a time when I’ll really be able to enjoy it.
