What's there to say about Moby Dick?
Truly epic, and epically convoluted, yet truly unforgettable. I couldn't stop thinking about the brilliance of the lead-in to this showdown of a man and a whale than through the pages of quotes depicting every instance of literative mention regarding the animal. Between that hyping up and the chapters demythologizing the whaling industry while deeply informing you on the details of sperm whales; it was like reading the perfect great-grandfather of JAWS.
