I haven't read a book since I went to see widespread panic and Umphrey's McGee last summer because I've been listening and going to shows for 11 months. Hopefully shitposting here again will give me motivation to crack my backlog but it's almost festival season :^(

The Oxford classics edition of Melville has decent notes. It's also a beautiful translation in its own right

>>8035122

To be perfectly honest...
...I only read about two books a year (if that)
I just read a lot of 'Children's Editions' of classic books when I was young.
