As you can tell I am not in the same place as others. I wonder what everyone will make of it?

Don't stress just enjoy the book. There will be difficult parts to get through,but I read those sections like I would a science book. They are interesting .

As an after thought it took me 8 months to read Les Miserables. So if it takes you time, do it.

I asked in the Lee Side Chatter thread, then realized I needed to go here. What did you all think about the decor on the Pequod? Why do you think Ismael chose that ship instead of a dull ship? Did you think it was a fore runner to what will transpire in the future? I thought the ship was flashy for the time. It reminded me of the pimped out cars with the bells and whistles.
