Horrible. Will never read it. It is the dryest, most boring, horrible writing. If I wanted to read an entire paragraph about him pulling out his worn, brown leather wallet, cracked with age, pieces flaking off as he opened it to pull out a wrinkled note, soiled with filth from a brothel, and some other such nonsense I'd read my own flowery writing. Instead, I write it and curse the public at general to enjoy it.
 
Moby Dick
My mom had to go super in depth into that book in her English class in college. A a year and a half later and it's still just popping up in her life in the weirdest ways

I read the child's version when I was a kid, and enjoyed it, but it wasn't as dense as the actual one. Same reason I don't read Harry Potter or Narnia
 
Funny coincidence -

Hubby and I drove to the Bay Area to see a concert back in the 90's, and we got there early because Bay Area traffic is a nightmare, so you have to leave super early so as not to hit a rush hour. We stopped at a coffee shop near the venue because we had 3 hours to spare. I took out my copy of Moby Dick. After a few minutes, I looked up and asked hubby:

Me: "What's the name of this coffee shop?"
Hubby: "Starbucks."
Me: 🤯

It was the very first Starbucks I'd been to (they were pretty new around here at that time), and I happened to be reading Moby Dick.
 
How interesting. I found Moby Dick riveting. As well as The Sea Wolf.
Granted, I did try to read it in the third grade. My reading level was like a 12.5. The librarian would bring me books from the public library so I'd have something to read since I couldn't read Hank the Cowdog and The Boxcar Children with the rest of the less intellectual students.
What? It's a meme!
