Moby Dick

Moby Dick / Herman Melville, 654 pgs.

I hate to publish spoilers in my posts there but I don't mind telling you all that Moby Dick is a whale!  Probably not a huge surprise to most of you.  What I did find surprising was the tale of obsession, loyalty and doubt.  Our summer reading selection was one of my favorites.  The detailed descriptions of ship life and whaling were fascinating but most of all I love the idea that when something that is hunted fights back, it can be seen as evil.
