I have been reading Moby Dick. It is one of those texts that an English teacher is "supposed" to have read, but which I never encountered in high school or college. I thought that the text was going to be dry and overly philosophical but I have been pleasantly surprised at how comical the narration can be. There is a scene where Ishmael meets Queequeg for the first time in a tavern; they have to share a cot for their first night together, and it is laugh- out- loud funny. Melville's descriptive writing and use of imagery is masterful. He spends 6 pages just describing the allure water has on people.

What are you thinking about reading? Are any book groups forming? (3 new)
