Is Moby Dick worth the read?

[Mustard]

you know what, I've always wondered about the sack seam... I've got one, but my buddy doesn't.
whaats the deeeal with sack seams?

That means you're friend is an alien scout pretending to be human, if he doesnt have either a sack seam or belly button that means he's an extraterrestrial which is bad news.

So yes… or no?

I say give it a shot. As others have noted, it's a bit dry and the middle third or so is basically a whale hunting manual, but the story is good. Same for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, but the middle of that is more like a marine biology textbook. Also Captain Nemo is a streetshitter.

I’ve read 20,000. lol there really isn’t a story to that book. Cool parts thou. Like when they almost die going under the South Pole from carbon monoxide poisoning.

I think it was grade 4 I remember everyone had to read these shorter, simplified, retard versions of classic books with huge chunks left out and I specifically remember thinking 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was boring. I also remember reading Last of the Mohicans, Black Beauty and Treasure Island. There were a shitload of them, and they were in the classroom for you to read all year. I should've read more of them.

Edit: they had shitty illustrations too.

Moby Dick is short for Mobert Richard.

 

[OpiesDelishHog]

Fuck no. And don’t start with all that “ohhh the book is miserable on purpose to make you feel like the sailors did” shit. It stinks and I don’t like it!

What's that movie with the Hemsworth where the whaling crew gets all motherfucked and stranded at sea and they eat their homies? I liked that movie. Heart of the Sea or some shit.

Spermwhales are called spermwhales because their heads are all full of jizz. That's a whale fact.

That’s in the book. Herman Melville learned it because he tried to harpoon one and just got whale spunk everywhere.
