originally Charlton Heston was asked to play Ahab in the movie. He turned the roll down. Later in life, Heston said that was the worst mistake he made as an actor.

Took me years to read the book, one chapter a night.
I now got the audio book on my mp3 player, trying to do an hour a night. I think I’m up to chapter 35, and the harpooneers just left the dining table, much to the relief of the steward/cabin boy.
