Have YOU read Moby Dick?


Finally got around to it recently as I neared by 60th birthday. Prior to that, the closest I got was the Classics Illustrated comic and maybe Cliff's Notes in high school.
It's definitely worth the read.

No I haven't! :p

As a kid I read a comic book adaptation. I remember Call me Ishmael.

Nope!

Who Killed Laura Palmer?

reply

Yes, I have. Flashes of greatness but too long and at times sleep inducing

I scored 750 in English SATs and still had to have an old Webster's dictionary at hand to read Moby Dick. I usually read 200 page books in a week or two, Moby Dick took 6 months (two three month periods over 2 years lol when I became determined to finish it). It's as artistic as prose gets but simply very hard reading.

It's definitely worth the read.
Leonard would be pleased for you.
