Oh thank God. God bless Mr. Twain. I’m waiting to be lambasted on here for my lack of taste in fine literature. For the record, I made it to page 131 of “Moby Dick.”
I’ve never even touched a copy. It wasn’t a book I was ever assigned to read.
I enjoy Jane Austen-loved Pride and Prejudice. Melville, however, bores me to tears. I couldn’t make it far into Moby Dick and only finished Billy Budd, Sailor because it was for a class.
I have the right to be called a snob. I read Moby Dick from cover to cover twice! (50 years ago.)
