I recommend Melville's short stories a being better reads than Moby Dick. Among the best are "Bartleby, the Scrivener," "Benito Cereno," and "The Lightning Rod Man."

I recommend In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex instead.

This is the story that was the inspiration for Melville writing Moby Dick.
