Good Read.....

On this day in 1851, Moby-Dick, a novel by Herman Melville about the voyage of the whaling ship Pequod, is published by Harper & Brothers in New York. Moby-Dick is now considered a great classic of American literature and contains one of the most famous opening lines in fiction: "Call me Ishmael."

I read this way back in a summer college class in American Literature....but was given a book by my sister Marcia entitled, Ahab's wife....written brilliantly from the perspective of Captain Ahab's wife. Good read....I passed it on which should be the plight of most good reads perhaps.
