Moby Dick. My first read, loving it so far. 😁

Nice!! I was surprised how funny and entertaining it was. I fully expected it to be crusty and boring (because, old books, right?)

Just wait till you hit chapter 95, The Cassock. I took an AP English class more than 20 years ago that focused mainly on Moby Dick and that chapter still sticks out in my mind.
