Change the words 'Aura HD' to 'interest' and the same thing is true of Moby Dick.
Man, I heard about the long and overly detailed chapters on whaling and cetology and mostly, they weren't too bad. But now that I'm 75% of the way through on chapter 105, I'm like "C'mon Melville! The orchestra is playing. It's time to wrap it up."
Beautifully written though. I'll happily read Melville's short stories and novellas.
