Moby-Dick: Or, the Whale by Herman Melville
3.0

Not at all what I was expecting. No one ever talks about how hilarious Melville is. Or how the story of Ahab's monomaniacal pursuit of the white whale is wrapped around (and considerably slowed by) a veritable encyclopedia of whaling facts, including explicit, gory descriptions of the hunting and butchering of whales.
