I finished Cormac Mcarthy's "The Road" about a month ago now and so I am never ever ever going to read another book as long as I live.
Kidding.
I'm actally back to reading Moby Dick and I'm about three quarters through. It really IS turning out to be one of my favorite books ever, even with all the pedestrian dissertations on whales and whaling.
I took a break from Moby Dick to read The Road because Moby had become kind of tiring but, after Cormac drug me down The Road, I was eager to get back to all the wonders of cetology.
I really like Ahab's instructions for cooking a whale steak. "Hold the steak in one hand, and show a live coal to it with the other; that done, dish it! Ever since I read that I have had a craving for sushi.
