“4. Moby Dick, Herman Melville: If you haven’t managed this one yet, consider that William F. Buckley, Jr. did not actually read this until he was 50, remarking then to friends: “To think I might have died without having read it.””
Well, to paraphrase Buckley: “I wish I had died without reading it...”
Like many ‘classic’ books, it is best viewed on YouTube, or reviewed in Wiki.
“I wish I had died without reading it...”
Literally LOL at that!
I had a friend who was very dedicated to reading the right books (correct that is, not politically) and she finally read Moby Dick and thought it was brilliant.
