Look, HH has been dragging this place down since he got here
Its slow lingering death rattle has just been hastened a bit by this karate kick to the oesophagus.

I never thought of you as someone that would have read Coleridge

Read it at school when I was 13 and before I was demoted from the scholars class

I had to do S Level English and we read Moby Dick.
I'd forgotten about that until you mentioned the scholars' class.

Thanks Nakers!

An s level must be way below an a level

Didn't AA have to go into hospital to have that dealt with?

Moby Dick is very dull
But thematically extremely complex. A bit like Heart of Darkness, but with a whale instead of Mr Kurtz.

I'll probably just listen to Leviathon again instead

Your methods are unsound.

Moby Dick is a reasonable book interspliced with Melville's fucking research notes.
When you discover it was published unedited it all makes sense. A decent editor would have chopped out his tedious research about types of whales etc which would have maintained the momentum instead of disrupting a reasonably-engaging yarn every thirty pages with some prick's fucking homework.

Ever read Heart of Darkness?
I think you'd like it. It's really short too.

I've not actually

Melville is also indirectly responsible for everyone's favourite bald vegan, Moby.
I think he owes us all an apology.

Yeah, thanks for illustrating that for me, HH.
