I sometimes would read funny tweets to Steven before bed, now I read him selected passages from Moby Dick (usually about Ahab) and still get a lot of good laughs. Bought my own copy to mark up, a newer edition with a lesser cover but more and newer footnotes and essays. Guess I’m just a Moby-Dickhead now.

This shit rocks. Chapters 68 and 69 (the blanket, the funeral) were especially good.
Couple of resources I’m really enjoying: the Moby Dick Big Read, and the podcast Towards Thee I Roll.

Reading Moby Dick on a Florida vacation is funny because while trying to clean a large palm frond out of the pool I thought, “the leviathan!” And on the beach I felt entitled to spot a sea creature because I was reading about whale watching. felt like I held an advantage.

Here be the whaling apologist and informational chapters. Even though some of this content is outwardly dry, the tone and details are rich and -again- very funny. Still though I am breaking it up with some of the supplemental information in this edition. Melville's letters to Nathaniel Hawthorne are perfectly read alongside Ishmael and Queequeg's budding friendship <3
