Moby-Dick; or, the Whale

OH MY HOLY MOTHER FUCK. This novel, this FUCKING novel. Phenomenal. Astounding. Groundbreaking. One of the greatest novels ever written. Yeah there's like 200 pages of whale anatomy and the history of whales in literature and whales in art and whale classification and I LOVED EVERY SINGLE WORD OF IT. So it's five-stars. Yes, five-stars. A five-star rating here is as rare as seeing the White Whale itself! READ THIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW. NOW. NOW. NOW.

I had no intention of ever reading this, Barry. God dammit.

I'm happy to see you liked it so much :) I really really loved it too.
I am jealous of how fast you were able to finish a 600 page novel.
Wow! That's impressive! I started this in June and I will probably finish it on July 31. You are a fast reader. I really enjoy it. It is so beautiful. But I need to take breaks.
This has been collecting dust on my shelf for ages! I guess it's time to dust it off and crack it open.
I need the penguin deluxe edition. Then I'll read it I promise.
Please do a video review! Your videos are brilliant!
Goddammit, there's another one for the TBR! >.<
i still haven't read this and i am ashamed of myself.
Now I really want to read it. I have wanted to read it for so long.
I feel like you are lying.
I'm reading the book now and it really is nearing as great as you say. it's been random praise I've been seeing for it here and there and I am really happy I decided to take the plunge. just so captivating. I had the impression this would bore me when I first heard about it since god knows when.
agreed, loved every word - the discourse on whales is fascinating!

I think you put it better than I did, XD Such an amazing read.
This review was an influencing factor in my decision to read Moby Dick. Thanks for the nudge! I loved it.
