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.

123 - The Musket, Starbuck's courage fails him, and all are doomed.

90 pages left.

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.

I begin to suspect Ishmael may be exaggerating.

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.

Ishmael goes off on property rights. :)

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

Reading more Moby-Dick because everything else I am "reading" is just blah.
