Status Updates From Moby Dick (Deluxe Edition)

I found it a bit difficult today. I almost quit it but I am going to give it another try. Also, I was feeling sleepy so maybe thats why.

this chapter was actually interesting, the chase day one

skimmed a few chaps and skipped even more

more boring chapters that don’t serve the plot in any way, skipped two of them which were gonna be exactly the same as the first one down to the damned title

got better, chap 47-50 were good

just finished chap 42 where he yapped about white things and got racist

“and though this pre-em-inence in it applies to the human race itself, giving the white man ideal mastership over every dusky tribe;”

jesus christ

ahab went crazy on the ship after his leg was bitten off by the whale to the point where he was put in a straight jacket

chapter forty was written like a play script for some reason. anyway, finally starting a chapter called moby dick; hopefully i’ll read about the bloody whale 200 pages in.
