I read “Moby Dick” and was sad that I had finished it, much like “The Hunt for Red October”.

I liked it too, after I got used to Melville's style. Now, Last of the Mohicans is one that I found to be somewhat headache-inducing. Mark Twain was correct, IMO, in his assessment of James Fenimore Cooper.

LOVE that sendup!

James Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses

You didn't want to get in Twain's sights when he had a grouch on.
