I vote for Moby Dick.

Romanticism & fantasy >> realism.

>> No.2935126

My original intention was Anna Karenina, but in my last order of books I slipped Moby-Dick in there on a whim. As I went to go start reading Anna, Moby just sort of gripped me for some reason and I was torn
looks like thats that

Don't let the sections about the whaling industry/whale anatomy that are strewn throught the text dissuade you from enjoying it. It really is a great book once you get past those parts.

Get out of here, the whaling and anatomy parts were actually the most interesting parts of the novel.

>> No.2935155

I suppose I should also mention that I have an HP Lovecraft collection that I could delve into as well

I'm just saying, those sections can be really off putting to some readers. I was alright with them but they felt a little unnecessary to the story for me personally.

Rats in the walls, the color out of space, The call of Cthulhu

>> No.2935191

I think they were absolutely necessary, otherwise you'd lose your sense of scale about what's happening.

People don't have the concept of what a whale is or what whaling really involves, unless you're really into nature documentaries.

he... he just made an old-timey fart joke in the very first chapter

Sonic Youth are basically what is wrong with music nowadays. The rely on computerized Auto-Tune vocals, 4/4 rhythm, repetitive guitar riffs and immature lyrics about breakups for their fame. Thurston Moore is a horrible guitarist and Kim Gordon can't sing for her life without the use of computers. Check out Nickelback, Tokio Hotel, new Metallica or Seether for some good old fashioned rock n' roll the way it SHOULD be.
