Moby Dick was listed as one of the 10 most boring books in some survey I saw, along with Don Quioxte. I have to agree although the first few chapters of Don Quioxte were pretty funny.

Moby Dick has little narrative, it is descriptive and full of symbolism and compelling reasons to ask questions and think. the questions that Melville puts forth in this book are ones that can not be asked in public. Relate the book to the time and censorship of the era.
If your survey was done by a leftist university group they would not approve of this book, too many questions about God and man and his like in God's world.
