Great White Whale

Sperm Whale - Physeter catodonI am currently reading Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick" and am enjoying it thoroughly.

You may also read along, the full text is here. I have just finished chapter 68 and am beginning the next chapter entitled "The Funeral."

Be sure to read chapter 64 "Stubb's Supper" which is very funny, and chapter 65 "The Whale as a Dish," in which you see Melville's moral relativism if you want quick diversions.

64 is here in part 6, near the bottom of the page.

66 is here, in part seven.

Fullbooks.com is an absolute bookmarker.

A Fine Mess will entertain the idea of a book club.
