Okay, okay. I get that Moby-Dick is a literary classic. I really do. And I appreciate it as a classic and also for the symbolism, etc. But imo, it was boring with little excitement thrown in. I struggled to finish this book for my 11th grade high English did and struggled even harder to make myself care about it. I do believe that high school students should read it, but it's not the kind of book that I personally would get excited about.
