Still going good. Chp 33 went a bit incomprehensible at the end, but 34 & 35 were good, and 36 superb. Ahab at last reveals the plan. Like 28-31, 36 is in a sort of dramatic mode, though not in play form. (I think some later chapters are.) Top notch prose, wonderful cadences. :) I had not really expected to like Ahab at all, but so far his chapters have been wonderful.

One more chapter and the chase begins. Yep, that's right, the thing everybody thinks this book is about is only the last 45 pages.

Well, well, well! Stubb knows him best of all, and Stubb always says he's queer; says nothing but that one sufficient little word queer; he's queer, says Stubb; he's queer--queer, queer; and keeps dinning it into Mr. Starbuck all the time--queer, Sir--queer, queer, very queer.

Chapter 99 - The Doubloon. Another very Shakespearean chapter. Beautiful to the ear, but I can't say I've got any idea what it was trying to convey.
Less than 200 pages to go. Planning to finish this reread before the end of the year.

Wacky waving inflatable tube man. But it's Ishmael, wearing the skin off a whale's dick.

91-92: Stubb is a con man. 93: Pip experiences racism, and other things.
Next up: Some, uh, "squeezing". aka the gayest thing since Ishmael and Queequeg's marriage.

Whale anatomy continues, next up some kind of story in a story I think. Not immediately recalling it from the chapter title.
