If you had to choose one, which one would you pick? Why?

Endless prose about nature or endless info dumping of whale hunting facts.

I'd rather end myself.

Not to be that guy, but whaddya mean by choose? Choose one to exist and the other not to? One to take with me to a desert island? One to say 'this one is of better aesthetic quality than the other?'

I mean, they're important for different reasons, I like them for different reasons...

the Dick that is Moby
because: less hobbitses

Evil is subtle.
There is no Whale.
There is no Sauron.
Evil is ethereal, ephemeral, eternal.
Kill Trump and there will be a thousand more.

If you could only have read one, which one?

As much as I like Tolkien, I love Moby-Dick and Melville so much more. It should be pretty obvious.

who here /survivedtheblackout/?

>>7443326
Probably Tolkien because of the religious content (which i am fond of).

>>7443326
There are probably only 10~15 anons here who have read both.

I read them both. i havent read Tolken in 20 years tho. I read MD for the second time last month.
It's fucking metal.

Not even a question: Moby-Dick: it's beautifully written and deep and insightful, and it helped establish, by a delayed reaction, America as a literary superpower.
