Moby Dick by Herman Melville
This is a classic book, and I finished it just in time to enjoy a reference to it in a recent Dr. Who episode.
It was a very long read, and with so many things grasping for your attention, I’m not sure I would tell someone to read this book. I enjoyed the story, as it allows you to live the life of the high sea without having to be there and risk death, which apparently happened a lot back then.
This is one of the books in Daria’s Reading List that I’m working on getting through.
