Hello Dan,
I too enjoyed the grapes of wrath, of mice and men, ETC. I hated Moby Dick.
I am sure Melville was proud of his work, but I personally could not get
through it. Thankfully it was not required reading for me. Other required
readings that I did not enjoy were Tristram Shandi, Farenheight 451, 1984,
Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde, and others that I am forgetting at the moment. I do
love to discuss books. I took an English course last semester where I
thought we would objectively and nicely discuss books, but oh how wrong I
was. We did not discuss books, we analyzed them until they meant nothing
because of how technical the professor was about them. Thankfully my love
for reading was not destroyed.
