Moby-Dick: Or, the Whale by Herman Melville

1.0

I do not understand why this is considered "classic." It's one of the most boring pieces of fiction I've ever read. The actual plot could have been encompassed in less than a third the length. Instead the book is filled with seemingly unending descriptions of everything remotely possible to do with whaling. No wonder my son hated me when I made him read this for homeschool.
