To be honest I think Moby-Dick was crap.
But maybe its only because its 2015 and anything of value in it has been robbed and reused one billion times so now its just a hollowed out chest of a dead dolphin.

Same with Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. It was so boring its unbelieveable.

But yeah it probably would have been a goodish experience if I read these a hundres years ago.
