Weekly “what are you reading” Thread :marseyreading:

So you can discuss your weekly readings.

I’m still reading Moby Dic, currently halfway through, so far is great, though as English is not my native language It means I have to look up quite a bit in the dictionary to learn the “old timey” words, but I’m using it less now the more I learn, it also made me check up the Bible to find the biblical counterparts of the characters with biblical names, which is interesting.

How are you finding moby peepee?

We had to read it in high school English and found it very tedious at the time. Maybe we were too young

It isn't school material over here so I read it as an adult, I find it pretty engaging, almost unexpectedly funny.

I’m finding it quite entertaining, but not in the sense many expect. It it not a typical adventure story, if you are looking for that, you’ll be disappointed. Most of the book so far is about the crew of the Pequod and the 19th century whaling industry, descriptions of different whales (cetology lmao), etc. But it is written on a very ironic way, and it has many humorous moments. I think the prose is probably too dense for high schoolers, hence why many of them hate it. But definitely worth another try.
