I read it a few years ago! It's really drat great once you get immersed in the story. Poor little Pip.

OregonDonor posted:In a previous Moby Dick thread a goon had this really interesting and fairly postmodern interpretation of the digression chapters about cetology, SPERM, etc—that the book is being written by an Ishmael many years on, and these interludes are his attempt at imposing a kind of rationalist explanation on the events of his earlier life, and in so doing, trying to come to terms with the enormity of the whale. I don't even know how I'd go about rating that to be honest. I'm very fond of The Grapes of Wrath.

Morty the Mad posted:the description of Pip falling overboard and going mad I haven't been able to shake this since I read it a few years ago. I'm very slowly reading the book again now and goodness it's well-written. Queequeg and Ishmael OTP.
