My Favorite Line in Moby Dick, thus far

So, when on one side you hoist in Locke's head, you go over that way; but now, on the other side, hoist in Kant's and you come back again; but in very poor plight. Thus, some minds for ever keep trimming boat. Oh, ye foolish! throw all these thunder-heads overboard, and then you will float light and right.

  2. It's really fantastic. I've got so many little projects running around so I'm not gonna finish it as soon as I hoped, but letting it linger is ok. I forgot how much fun reading was when you're not on any schedules.

  3. Oh, it's a pretty massive undertaking...it will take a long time to read. The good thing, however, is that Moby Dick gets better as you get farther along.
