A Herman Melville Encyclopedia Book

I liked this book, despite having to struggle through the first two chapters. I think it really gave me some insights into the way I've developed as a reader where previously I would've only been able to point out that what I read has changed and not that my manner of reading has changed as well. Only downpoint for me is the fact that fantasy is linked to an immature way of reading, maybe not made explicit - but this judgement is their between the lines at the very least, while I think you can apply the other ways of reading to this genre as well.
