Hey /lit/!
I do not want definitly to be a flamer but i really can figure out why are u considering moby dick a masterpiece.

I consider myself a decent reder, i love fitzgerald dumas and marquez, but i can also appreciate lots of different authors, from burroughs to carver.
I may not fall in love whit every single book i've read, but i could at least find in them the reason of their popularity.
But not in Moby dick. I' m. Going to say that again, i'm not a flamer, i just want to understand why preatty much everyone here and in real life consider that book a masterpiece.

Start by telling us why you don't think it is a masterpiece, "decent reader".

You have to push through the first half. He's setting up the existential angst.

Moby Dick is one of the few books that age like wine as you grow up.

If you read it in 5-10 years, it will be greatly different than how you read it now. Just put it in your backlog.

It's English, the edition really doesn't matter.
