Just an anecdote, but Moby Dick actually is one of the favorite books of most people I know who read it

Having been forced to read Moby Dick in high school, it's a great book if you're looking for a How-To guide on repurposing whale parts. That novel has entirely too much blubber and could be cut in half.
Well shoot. I always assumed it similar to other books read in school: good but not fun. I should read Moby Dick!
