What's so special about this book? Why do a lot of people considered this as their favorite and the greatest book of all-time?

Nobody can be more clownish, more clumsy and sententiously in bad taste, than Herman Melville, even in a great book like ‘Moby Dick’….One wearies of the grand serieux. There’s something false about it. And that’s Melville. Oh dear, when the solemn ass brays! brays! brays!

What's the best chapter?

My suggestion: Chapter 30: The Pipe

Just half a page, yet is so full of imagery and philosophy that nothing else competes. It is so concise and dense in its development of Ahab.

I also vote for Crime and Punishment.

And of course, the greatest novel of all time.

This is my favorite book.

It is also, undeniably, the greatest book of all time.
