Is it true that I can read the last 3 chapters of Moby Dick without having read the rest of the book and still understand the jist of it?

I do that with every book

>he hasn't completely absorbed the plot and themes of Moby Dick through cultural osmosis

What are some other books written in this biblical and sweeping prose style? Other than McCarthy

Any other books (prefer old ones) like Moby dick?
