I spent many hours of my life wading through that stream of consciousness called Moby Dick. With only 3 chapters left, I put it down saying, “there’s nothing that could happen in three chapters that would make reading any further worth my while.”

My experience was the opposite. I spent many years ignoring Moby Dick because I expected it to be boring. When I finally picked it up--and why I don't know--I couldn't put it down. I was amazed at its depth and clarity.
