>>Describes every man as a horny gay guy

that's just male friendship, admiration and bonding, nothing gay about that.

>>Every other chapter stops to talk about some useless nonsense

Those useless chapters usually have some sort of philosophical nugget in them or practical info that helps the story out later on.

Finish it. The ending is amazing and redeems much of the "boring" parts.

one of my top 3 fav books

> Also the whole whale anatomy meme is grossly overstated

Some of that shit is actually interesting and those chapters always seem to end in some poetic and cool way. Plus they have ramifications for things that happen later in the book, so when an action scene happens Melville doesn't have to explain to you how ships work and what everything means because he's already taught you that stuff a few chapters earlier. Makes the action scenes faster

Moby Dick is my bible. All the wisdom, poetry, guidance and philosophy I need is there.
