Herman Melville’s short stories.....

I dug those out of the pile last year and found they are like a shot of liqour and two sleping pills. They are not for me

I like “Moby Dick” but the short stories are a tougher read that I expected. The prose is pretty dense and it takes a while to get used to the style and to unload what is there. I spent most of the weekend in a hospital ICU waiting room, so I had time to do that. I like some of the stories. Others are duds.
