12. Moby-Dick.
But I now leave my cetological System standing thus unfinished, even as the
great Cathedral of Cologne was left, with the crane still standing upon the
top of the uncompleted tower. For small erections may be finished by their
first architects; grand ones, true ones, ever leave the copestone to
posterity. God keep me from ever completing anything. This whole book is but a
draught—nay, but the draught of a draught. Oh Time, Strength, Cash, and
Patience!
Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is a massive book.
It’s a story about obsession, an encyclopedia of whale facts, and an
unexpected love story. It’s also the source of the name of our podcast! Chris
and Suzanne could talk about Herman Melville’s magnum opus for hours (and
indeed, those who support the show on Patreon
will get to hear some parts of their discussion that didn’t make the final
edit).
Show Notes.
Moby-Dick; or, The Whale.
[Gutenberg.

Burt Reynolds version.
The audiobook for The Autobiography of Malcolm X.
Whale Whale Whale, a Moby-Dick podcast.

we think are still neat.
