Too true. Moby Dick was complete and utter shit. The manuscript should've been burned before it ever went to the publisher. It is one of the most pretentious, boring and frankly idiotic works of "literature" ever created by man. It is so bad, it is almost genial (almost). Pure and utter unadultrated SHITE. 800+ pages of snooze inducing material. It's so effective at making you go to sleep my copy came with a health warning: WARNING! READ ONLY 2 PAGES A DAY. DO NOT READ MORE. READING MORE MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE DROWSINESS. IF MORE IS READ SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE IMMEDIATELY"

Don't dare let the truth about "the greatest literary work by an American author" ever get out because you get attacked by the LAA (Literary Association of America).

Dug out my copy. It is in fact over 1,000 pages long but with introduction and preface.

So anyway, examples of bad literature:

page 323:

>"Whereupon planting his feet firmly against two opposite planks of the of the boat, the gigantic negro, stooping a little, presented his flat palm to Flask's foot, and then putting Flask's hand on his hearse-plumed head and bidding him spring as he himself should toss, with one dextrous fling landed the little man high and dry on his shoulders. And here was Flask now standing, Daggoo with one lifted arm furnishing him with a breast-band to lean against and steady himself."

I rest my case. It's like a mongoloid trying to describe the noise an emu makes. I have never witnessed such a clumsy use of words. The 980 page book could've been condensed down to 300 if the CUNT could write.

I've done (some) research on Melville, and, honestly? It's because he was a whaler for a short period of time and was familiar with boats.

And how is it that because some people think this is the best work of American literature that that is somehow

No, once again, pulling a random quote from the text and then pretending to be angry is not an argument. There are hundreds if not thousands of great American novels which, if you want to know where the novel in English is going, you should read. Your using this book to fatuously dismiss an entire country's literature puts you in your place even if it is insincere, which it evidentially is. Grow up - people don't direct you to books to do the books a favor.

Moby Dick is fiction because if Ishmael had actually stayed overnight in an inn in New Bedford's south end, he would have a) been shot or b) kidnapped by Portuguese single-mothers because he's the only man there with an actual job and/or future.

No, we could all see you samefagging. You even did it in consecutive posts. 'Trolling' would imply we took you seriously, and nobody did - we thought you were a retard trying to be funny, and then you confirmed it. You seem to be unfamiliar with how 4chan works.
