Moby-Dick by Herman Melville is America’s greatest novel.
It is the most prescient portrait of the American character, and our ultimate fate as a nation, and perhaps a species. Melville makes our murderous obsessions, our hubris, violent impulses, moral weakness, and inevitable self-destruction visible in his chronicle of a whaling voyage. — Chris Hedges

Finally doing it. And, I get it. Total classic. Timeless, despite its setting. All about character, and it’s already amazing. Melville understood people and our existential predicament, generally.
