Can't see it with Moby Dick, that's for sure.

I'm actually re-reading it right now, and I've got to say, Melville's description of a New Bedford church and a sermon given therein, in chapters 7, 8, and 9 (The Chapel, The Pulpit, and The Sermon), are downright chilling they're so spot-on and good.

Billy Budd was better than Moby Dick, IMO. Then again, nobody's asked me for my list of great novels ;)

I guess all I'm saying is I don't care about anyone in Moby Dick....

Except for the Whale :)
