guys when I read mobi dick I feel like I'm not really getting the deeper meaning behind the book. I mean, I can say what the story line is, it's a pretty simple story, I can recap it just fine. It's just all the symbolism and shit that goes on in the book, and all the literary references, and the dream, and ishmael comparing the whale to the innermost soul or something, and all these other allusions to stuff. I just ugh, I'm about a third of the way through the book and I feel like I'd have to go back and re-read the entire thing just so I can get the "deeper meaning".

It's a interesting documentary about whaling and about a crazy man who's angry at a whale. The "deeper meaning" is just a meme. I read the whole thing and it wasn't deep in the slightest. A competent editor could cut half of it without losing anything important.
