I had forgotten how utterly complex Ishmael is. One of the most thoroughly fleshed out characters - but only by narrative inference - in all of American literature.

I am enjoying the simple act of reading this time around. No need to analyze, contextualize, etc (though those things happen naturally). Having read the book once for analysis, now I just get to enjoy it. It's a feeling of reading freedom I haven't enjoyed for a while.

Spotter and Coffin. I had missed that foreshadowing on first reading. Now it seems so obvious.

Second reading. This time a bit more slowly, with intent.

There's a picture book version of MD that has fascinating illustrations, but the adapter made he absolutely bizarre (to me) decision to remove all the other characters and make it Ahab's solitary quest.
