Herman Melville

Moby Dick


Who was Moby Dick?
But a giant white whale
hunted by Captain Ahab
all over the boisterous seas.
What a strange tale
was Moby Dick!

I HAD TO read this book in my younger college days and boy was it ever long!  The first line is, "Call me Ishmael..."  There are some things in life that you quite don't understand how you made it through, but at least I can say that I have read this book.  Although personally I prefer other genres.  This is a classic however.
