I finally finished Moby Dick. I don't think it has ever taken me so long to read a book before. I have read books with way more pages in a more timely manner and with much more enthusiasm. I am so glad to be done with this book so I can move on in our reading list. I know this book is a classic, but really... I did not like it.
I was very disappointed in the ending. With all of the lead up, I expected the ending to be something interesting. I feel like even Melville just wanted this novel to be over with. In my opinion, the ending did not match up with how the rest of the story read.
Anyways...Another piece of literature to check off my list :) This evening we will be starting Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. My initial thoughts about this book are not wonderful. If it wasn't on our list, I might not pick it up because of what the cover says the story is about; however, it is on my list and I feel that I should give it a try.
