Rated Moby Dick: or the Whale by Herman Melville, original classic paperback, 8/10

<div>Reading Moby Dick as a big group on Bluesky was absolutely the best way to finally get around to reading this literal behemoth of a book. If you once put it down as a teenager, with that too-cool-for-classics sneer, I recommend revisiting. It's gayer than you expect, funnier than you expect, completely unhinged in parts, and then Melville will hit you with a paragraph of true beauty. Subtlety? NOT IN THESE SEAS.</div>
