I'm currently slogging through
Moby Dick -- in the meantime starting and finishing three or four other books -- and it seems like everytime something interesting is starting, another less-than-interesting-for-me section starts up again. I searched this thread and it was nice to see I am not alone.
It seems to have potential, so I want to try to finish it. Maybe I'll take it with me for jury duty next week.
I'm an
Outlander fan, by the way. I couldn't get into it at all the first time I tried to read it, and put it down after a couple dozen pages. I picked it up several years later and started over again, found it much more interesting and have just finished reading the whole series
again (all except the lastest book, which I have not purchased yet.)
