A review by danhf
Moby Dick Or, the Whale by Herman Melville

5.0

We tend to remember this magnificent novel as the story of Ahab's obsession with a white whale but like 90% of it is the nerdy Ishmael's obsession with recounting every obscure bit of trivia about the whaling industry (plus many completely made-up details concerning various whale species) and it is fucking GLORIOUS.
