Moby Dick is basically that episode of SpongeBob where the giant blue lipped clam eats Mr Krab’s 1 millionth dollar and he goes crazy and makes SpongeBob and Squidward hunt the clam to get his dollar back. Except the SpongeBob episode was actually good.

“Wait a minute. This ain’t me 1 millionth dollar! This is an ordinary dollar that’s been crumpled up, torn slightly, soaked in the lagoon, and kissed with coral blue number 2 semi-gloss lipstick!” - “Actually it’s coral blue number 3.”

I have come across many books on ancient Egyptian art and this one is by far the best introduction on the topic! It is an easily digestible overview and extremely informative. It also features many high quality images with descriptive captions to accompany the text. I read this book over a year ago and still recall bits of information that I read when the topic of ancient Egypt comes up in conversation. It is a great jumping off point if a specific period of Egyptian art captures your interest. It has become one of my favorite additions to the art history bookshelf in my home!
