Moby-Dick.

should i have read the bible before reading moby dick? i didn't like moby dick and someone said it is because i haven't read the bible.

my cousin bought 3 three of those 'bum' books for christmas when i was 9 and i never even touched them. i remember also getting a lion king boardgame and a TMNT boardgame but the problem is i didn't have any friends to play them with and when i would ask my mother she would say she has chronic fatigue and is too tired to spend an hour playing a board game with me. i wish my dad didn't die, especially before i was born. thanks for reading my blog.

i don't have a favourite book. i thought The Prize by Daniel Yergin was good, and it made me think more about how the world works.

i don't know what you thought of it, but i personally didn't enjoy it.

not sure if moby dick filtered me or if it just wasn't my cup of tea

I'm not sure if my request is silly or not, but are there any books that contain the general wisdom a father is supposed to pass on to their son? I grew up without a father and hearing of others talk about their fathers giving them wisdom pertaining to life and being a man always made me feel as though i have missed out on some important information.
