Thread: WOW is all I can say about Moby-Dick

I always neglected to read the book, one because I all already knew so much about moby-dick and two its like 600 fucking pages.

But I finally read it and wow this book blew me away, its not like any other book I've ever read as far as style.

It's really sublime actually.

I don't recommend it to anyone actually just because It's hard to get into, extremely long, and at some points tiresome.

But theres some genius shit in here, thoughts anyone??

It's okay. Not my favorite, really...

I loved it, but at times it was a tough read. I was surprised at how other cultures were appreciated and valued. I did not expect that from an 1850's novel. One of the best openings..."Call me Ishmael." It was awhile ago when I read it, I enjoyed the sense of foreboding, and how detailed the author was describing the whaling culture.
