You are not. You are suffering from a manic episode. Seek help, because the crash isn't going to be pretty.

You wake up from the eternal dream and your /lit/ bros welcome you to the true world of infinite knowledge and unlimited sex. Where you stand above mere mortals and pass uncaring judgement. So far nobody has done it.

It feels special because it’s such a quintessential American classic. It’s pretty interesting to learn about the context surrounding the whaling business too. I wasn’t aware how big whaling was before starting the book.

Thanks. Found it. Here it is, for anyone interested. It's pretty basic - very high school, and missing lots of better works.

Moby Dick is my favorite book, but I think Ulysses might filter me. What should I expect? Is it enjoyable or just a glossary of literary references?

Which ones do you want to read? Once you've done a bit you'll get better at discerning what seems likable. Just the general plot/time written in/style will get you a good picture.
