Moby-Dick Big Read - Chat discussion

I'd be remiss if I didn't add this thread. :)

I've added the book The Whale: In Search of the Giants of the Sea, written by the creator of the Big Moby-Dick Read and inspired by Melville, to the group's bookshelf. I haven't read it yet but it's probably a good addition for anyone who enjoys reading related books. Since we're reading at a much slower pace with one chapter a day, some might have the time to add this to their reading stack.

I added two books written by narrators in the big read.

Great! Thanks. I'll check them out.

When my beagle is left alone, she howls like her heart is broken; my nieces used to call it whale talk (no humpbacks have responded yet, though).

I just found an interesting Tumblr:
Moby Dick (I don't know why Tumblr tends toward the "F-word" so enthusiastically, but there you are.)

@Tracey, thanks for the Tumblr link. Very visual. I'm going to have to go back later and spend a little time there.

Found this cool picture and video. It's a humpback whale:
