You guys are just machines, I tell ya! <br /><br />I figured if I didn't chase this whale now, I never will (especially not on my own!).

I'm gonna learn all sorts of neat trivia - haha! ;) <br /><br />I love short chapters so much - in any book that I read. It makes it so much easier to read the book in short sittings. I'm highlighting and writing in this copy I found, but I'm still going to keep my eye out for a nice hardcover edition of MB to keep FOREVER. :)<br /><br />Brie @ A Slice of Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445361407533018855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591658634412055487.post-63647175569305886962013-05-30T22:06:49.885-06:002013-05-30T22:06:49.885-06:00Oh awesome!

I'm a bit behind (as you can tell) so I haven't gone off to read other people's posts just yet...but I'm getting there! :)<br /><br />I was being a bit sarcastic as I just happened to be in BC to visit my sister and my god does Vancouver ever have a butt-load of second-hand book stores!! But truthfully, I was not able to find a copy of MD in Edmonton (although Laura tells me Wee Book Inn had some, I just did not make it to a location). Phew! That was like short story long, hey? <br /><br />And yes, I know I will for sure be feeling its length as the weeks go on. At least we have each other to cheer us on!

I mean, Starbucks is named after a character in Moby Dick. Who knew? (probably lots of people, but I didn't.)<br /><br />I love that cover! There's an edition in library that has beautiful line drawings throughout, like every few pages. I kind of want to take it out so I can follow the pictures.<br /><br />The short chapters are perfect. You only need to read two chapters a day to keep up. I'm actually holding myself back a little bit. I don't want to get too far ahead, or I won't remember what to write about when it comes time to post.<br /><br />And well, if it's not cool to talk about Moby Dick at social gatherings, maybe you are at the wrong social gatherings? :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591658634412055487.post-68818993127787013802013-05-30T09:03:24.049-06:002013-05-30T09:03:24.049-06:00I'm reading Moby Dick with you and Laura. Wow,...I'm reading Moby Dick with you and Laura. Wow, all the way to Vancouver to find a copy. It sounds like you had your own whale to hunt down. But the book you found has a beautiful cover!
