The Devil's Dictionary - Wrong category - posted last year
Depite the title, The Devil's Dictionary isn't a horror book. This should be in the Comedy section.Moby Dick - Is anyone else struggling with this? - posted last year
One of the good things about Moby Dick is that the chapters are modular - that is, you can read one chapter without have read any of the others (though your appreciation of the plot may be diminished). My vegetarian aunt was thus able to skip the chapters which detail whaling, and which turned her stomach.The technical chapters have little if any plot relevance, so if you're finding them tough going, you might find it helpful to skip ahead to the next chapter and then come back to them later.
