MD is a masterpiece. Unfortunately, you have to find a free month in which to read it at a leisurely pace. This is difficult for a lot of people

I think the problem with Moby Dick is that some people can come up with great story ideas, and some can write well. Those who can do both are rare, and, in my opinion, Melville wasn't one of them.

As they said in the movie Taps, "It's the wrong execution of the right idea."
