I've had Ishmael's voice, well, Herman Melville's thoughts, in my head the last couple of weeks.
I'm reading Moby Dick for the first time. I can see why so many say it's their favorite book. Melville's words and characters come alive from the first sentence. They take up space in your head and you find yourself thinking about the book days after you read a passage. It's far from being a book about a whale. I wish I had read it long ago...
It is a good companion.
