I just finished the part where Ishmael attends the sermon with that old guy who talks about Jonah and man oh man am I bored! Every word I read was followed by a yawn, my eyes kept wandering all around looking for a distraction, had I not set out a goal for myself to finish this book by the end of the year I would've dropped it. Please tell me this book gets better, I've been told there's an entire chapter dedicated to the anatomy of a whale.

It's not for you.

It's not an adventure novel, if that's what you were expecting.

That’s one of the best parts, maybe you should stick to video games

If you're this bored already, this book is definitely not for you. By the way, you sound like an insufferable faggot with no attention span

Assuming you're not a retarded faggot maybe you have ADD? Take Ritalin then see how you feel.

It gets better. Hidden in that book are philosophical ruminations that will make your jaw drop. Fast fish and loose fish. The rug. The whiteness. Plus, the parts in between are pretty funny.

Well, go watch T.V., then. Moby-Dick is not for everyone.

It gets better than The Sermon? It gets better than Loomings? I'm not saying the book gets worse but both of those are a fair showing of what the book has

Town-Ho Story, Archangel Gabriel, Cetology, The ending, Pip going crazy, etc. Perfect book.

Reading this is like drinking a warm drink on a cold night, but for the brain

This book is something else. Half the time I don’t know what the fuck the narrator is on about but it’s just fucking incredible to read. Just finished the Town Ho story. Does it get better?

Fuck yeah it does

The end of Moby Dick is as good as literature gets. The answer to "I'm up to X point in Moby Dick does it get better?" questions are always yes.
