Not particularly enjoying this book. I'm no stranger to classics, and I'm not intolerant to pages of description, but... so far, I really am struggling to see the appeal in Moby Dick. At 25% of the way in the book, we have only just gone onto the ocean, and I really hope it picks up from here because reading this really feels like a slog, and I don't like to give up on books but boy oh boy haha...

Still struggling to see the appeal in this book. At this point I'm actually forcing myself to read this because there's almost no enjoyment so far. I don't mind some of the ideas explored, but the temptation to "skip" sections is so high when the narrator hints they are going to now explain yet another idea, with another 20 different examples from history.
