Moby-Dick or, The Whale

"It was the devious-cruising Rachel, that in her retracing search after her missing children, only found another orphan."
I would like to record that at 4:05 AM on Thursday, September 3, 2009, I finished reading Herman Melville's Moby-Dick or, The Whale. It was on my fifth attempt. I can now go about living the rest of my life.

... quite an accomplishment. It has been at least six years since he started his first attempt. Might say the book has been his white whale.

Does this mean we should visit New Bedford on your next trip? The Seaman's Bethel is open daily.
