Just started this ten days ago, deeply enjoying it so far. I see there is a Melville thread, but didn't see any threads for Moby-Dick. I was drawn to it because of its reputation as a complex book, and while its not as maximalist as I was expecting, its still quite rich in technical atmospheric detail, and it even toggles between writing formats, like Ulysses does 70 years later (e.g. between novel format and play format).
Also, I was perusing through wikipedia whereupon I learned that, in the John Huston film adaptation, Orson Welles plays Father Mapple, who gives a sermon in an extraordinary scene early in the story. Has anyone seen the film?
