Status Updates From Billy Budd and Other Tales ...

So far I've read Billy Budd, The Piazza and Bartleby and I gotta say, I really love Melville's prose style. Sentences unfold with a beauty and complexity that is wonderfully lyrical and often have to be read a few times to get the full sense of their description, which really immerses you in the language. This is the first Melville I've read and it won't be the last.
