Moby-Dick or, The Whale by Herman MelvilleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh, for pity’s sake, you know what Moby Dick is about. You hated it in school because somebody made you read it. You’re a grownup now so go read it again because you want to. It’s wonderfully written and it’s fun and it’s intensely interesting and you’ll meet some real characters, including a scary captain and the guy they named Starbucks after. This time you can skip the boring parts — there aren’t that many boring parts, honest. Based on a real whale, by the way.
