Moby-Dick

When people hate this, I totally see why. When people love this, I see why. So it's right in the middle for me.

But damn. Herman never learned a fact he didn't tell you, never recalled an anecdote he didn't spring on you, never used one word when five would do. Ishmael is one overly verbose mofo.

You could read Moby Dick, or you could take a crackhead sailing, and it would be mostly the same experience.
