    Not sure if you're reading Melville or if you've called your dick Moby and you're pleasuring yourself... :wink:

    And he piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it.

    A brilliant peice of description and one of my all time favourite quotations.

    Rest is boring as hell though.
    "I hold it true, what'er befall;
    I feel it, when I sorrow most;
    'Tis better to have loved and lost;
    Than never to have loved at all."

    Spoiler Alert

    Pequod rammed by Greenpeace vessel and a messy international court case drags on for years. The sequel, "Moby Writ" is a drag.

    I didn't even get to the whale bit, took a while to build up. And no Sequel either.

    Thanks for spoiling the story by telling me it's got a whale in it! I won't bother reading it now.
