MOBY DICK SPOTTED AT NINETY FIVE PERCENT
ok i've thought about it and what this book lacks is a sense of progression. it's aimless to the point of large swathes of it feeling meaningless. case in point, the appearance of moby dick does not feel like we've "culminated" to something, it just kind of happens.

ishmael is gay because he likes queequeg. ahab is gay because he hates women. they are not the same.
of course ahab has a wife that he would describe as a widow after sleeping in his house with her ONE time before returning to sea. of course. she might as well be a freaking widow
