Moby Dick is a great book. Im currently reading it, im halwfway

If I were a billionaire, had a mother to my child, I would fill his nursery with Rousseau, then, when he became of age we would switch rooms and I would feel at home.

The same as yours.

I've yet to read it, is it much different from Heart of Darkness?

>>8538253
Well, Melville and Conrad have different styles... They're both similar in how they talk about human condition and feelings through nature/animals/ the unknown

I dont know what you think about that

Maybe the best book I've read. I can't wait to read it again. Any good critical/secondary texts that any of you recommend re Moby Dick? My friend told me DH Lawrence has an interesting essay on it (which I have yet to read).

Yes it is completely different. Read it as soon as you can.

>is it much different from Heart of Darkness?
What?

...what?

Took me three attempts in as many years to get all the way through. It was a really rewarding experience but I'll probably never read it again.

No, my friend just summarized the plot to me, and from the way he told it, the stories seemed similar.

I was surprised by how funny it was
