Why Read Moby Dick?

Notes

Imagine you're sharing a long car ride with your friend's dad, who is a super fan of Moby Dick. This is pretty much how your conversation is going to go.

Obviously, I'm already a convert - Moby Dick is one of my absolute favorite books - but I think Philbrick does a pretty convincing job talking about what makes the book special, and why it's still readable today.
