Moby done…

Well not quite. I’ve been reading Moby Dick a page or two a day for the last 223 days. I’ve still got about 30 days to go and it’s been interesting.
I’ll confess I’d never read it before, though I think I tried once when I was college age. It’s been interesting and in part, quite good. I’ve never been a fan of a lot of “experimental” writing in novels and Melville uses quite a bit of technique in parts – stage directions, script-like passages, and the like. It’s really quite modern, or perhaps what I really means is many “modern” books may be quite antique. 🙂
In any case I’m enjoying it, but am definitely looking for the end when I will probably start in on another classic. I’m doing this reading through DailyLit which will happily send one any number of books via email, a page or two at a time. Check it out!
Aloha!
