Moby-Dick: Or, the Whale
by Herman Melville
This book was 75% encyclopedia. I️ wanted the story of Ahab and Ishmael. But instead, I️ got just a little of that and a whole lot of information on the classifications of whales.
Yes, the writing was masterful, and I️ enjoyed the biblical Jonas and the Whale stories, but man alive—it was a lot of wading through to get back to the narrative.
