Thar She Blows!!!!!

I'm still listening to Moby Dick (from Librivox) and I'm not even halfway through! I'm still interested enough to keep going but have to admit that the whaling chapters are a bit tedious. I would like to think I'm learning new things but discovering that since Melville didn't have Google, he may have been wrong .... a lot.



I knit at lunch and listen to my iPod. Around chapter 50, the title character actually made his appearance! He ate a sailor but that's what he does so it's cool.

It took until about chapter 28, I think, before we met Captain Ahab. Crazy how you hear so much about classics but it takes forever to meet the characters!

Still moving along.......It WILL be completed!
