Composite Novel: The Short Story Cycle in Transition
A recommendation of Craig Enberg, I think...
Opened it and read the first page, came across the line about November gloom and the need to travel and seemed appropriate to my current state of mind. His writing style seems pretty engaging, slightly ecstatic, but I don't mind. I'm worried about the dull-drums of the novel, though; lengthy descriptions of whaling, sailing, and whatnot. Not sure whether that stuff will hold my attention, but maybe I'll surprise myself, or Melville will surprise me.
I have been really into these heroic-type novels lately.

Honestly man, just stick with the character development and lay off the philo-theo musings. Although the bit where he contrasted the turmoil under the surface of the ocean with green and peaceful land was interesting and a good setup for further drama.

I finished this a week ago and it was sort of worth it for the Shakespearean moments and the chilling ending.
Eh, who am I kidding? The movie is totally sufficient.
