Summer Reading: Moby-Dick
Rebecca Stott reports on NPR on reading Moby-Dick. Stott introduces Melville's book by explaining:
There's nothing like it in the history of literature, except perhaps Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy, with its eccentric characters, plotless episodes, entangled digressions, puns, obsessions and tricks.
Stott explains the reasons she enjoys the book, and you can read the rest or listen. There is even an excerpt from the beginning of the novel.
You can also check out a copy of Moby-Dick from the Libraries (there are many other copies).
You could also download a copy of Moby Dick from Project Gutenberg (they also a couple different versions including an audio version).
