There's nothing wrong with skipping the cetology chapters, friend.
Wyatt Sullivan
I'd rather not finish a book than skip parts in it. How can you even say you "read the book"" afterwards?
Henry Nguyen
Because the cetology chapters aren't integral to the actual story, friend. The only reason that they were incorporated into the novel was because, at the time of its publication, no one knew anything about whales and their anatomy, which is why Melville wrote so extensively about cetology, in order to help readers visualize whaling.

Definitely my favorite novel. It's something that affects you differently every time you read it. I've read it three times: once as a teenager, and I hated it; once, several years later, after I had read much philosophy and the Bible, and was able to appreciate it for its beauty; a third time, after my mother passed, and it made me question my own philosophy and life after every chapter.
You can just tell how much Melville struggled with his interpretation of God and free will when you read it. It's not really something you can understand unless you're religious and have experienced how unfair life can be, despite doing everything in your power to make it not so.

Yes there is, you illiterate fuck.
