Moby Dick

"Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze! all the morning long; I squeezed that sperm till I myself almost melted into it; I squeezed that sperm till a strange sort of insanity came over me, and I found myself unwittingly squeezing my co-labourers' hands in it, mistaking their hands for the gentle globules."
>this is what Americans call Literature

What do you dislike about it?

“Strange sort of insanity” is pretty weak phrasing but other than that it seems fine.

Melville's got nothing on the gayness of Blades of Grass

Melville was French ya fucking moron

I finally started reading this book and can say it is without a doubt it is the greatest novel ever. Structure, prose, allusions. Get's my dick so fucking hard, it's an American Shakespeare, Ahab talks in blank verse, there's a prophetic fool. Love it desu

I agree completely. I made the thread as a joke, because the book's become one of my favourites, and I haven't even finished it. It's amazing.
I just can't help but think I don't get nearly enough of its genius. I didn't notice Ahab's blank verse until you mentioned. But I guess works like Moby Dick aren't supposed to be fully absorbed in only one reading

hmmmmmmmmmm

>this is what eurofags call shit posting

WHAT?! You made bait thread just to talk about Moby-Dick?! Why not just make a sincere thread instead? Does everyone who make these kinds of threads just want someone to talk too? Is this really what passes for generals on Veeky Forums?
