I found most books are just garbage. Take Moby-Dick for example, interesting story that could be compressed to two pages, but it is 400 pages of boring stuff, that goes on and on. And it can not be criticized as it is "fundamental corner stone of American literature"!

Watching documentary about original story, and a few pieces about 19 century whale hunting, is much better use of time!
