So I've just started reading Moby Dick. What should I expect /lit/? Worth my time? A dandy read? How do you feel about it?

>>459906
was it a squid or just scars from all the other fights with whalers he's gotten into? can't remember.

anyway, i found all the cetology chapters besides the Brow and the Whiteness of the Whale to be uninteresting, but the actual narrative is quite good.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 22 01:18:22 2010 No.459994 And his scars just happen to look like some kind of artistic flourish? lol

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 22 01:20:22 2010 No.460001 >>459994 I don't think that is an illustration for Moby Dick. Probably some cheap-ass stupid series fantasy bullshit.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 22 01:29:22 2010 No.460025 >>459994 it is kind of described as such in the book. not this anthropomorphic sculpture thing, but weird complex patterns scarified on their skins.
