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??

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.
