Moby-Dick is a huge favorite of mine. Do you like it?

I also enjoyed Moby Dick quite a lot. I really liked all the whale biology and whaling culture chapters, even though they were spoken of as "something to get through" when others were discussing the book. I found the middle kind of slow, but I was also 11 when I read it and hadn't read a lot of classical works. I remember really liking the second to last chapter, and I always wondered why I never hear people talk about it. To me, that was the heart of the story.

I liked the whaling chapters too. Many people point out how American Psycho mimics these in all the talk on fashion, restaurants, and music. That just makes both more enjoyable to me.

i'm loving it! i've been enjoying how melville flips between narrative on the pequod and ishmael's weird pseudo-scientific ramblings!

i also like how he drops his philosophical musings throughout and just lets the reader ponder them

I almost bought that Beowulf translation. I probably will sometime. I have the Seamus Heaney translation, which I've read a few times.

'Parasites Like Us' - Adam Johnson

Just started reading- rather quirky for a South Dakota native? May be comedy related to 'Fargo' movie.....
