Moby-Dick: Or, the Whale by Herman Melville
4.25
adventurous reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Definitely something everyone should read. Took me 4 months though 🫡. The gay subtext really sold me aswell as the corruption of ahab as he descends into madness! Also despite the use of slurs this book actively pushed against racist rhetoric.
