For several weeks now, I have been reading Moby Dick. It has been a challenge to keep going through the entire novel. The book in many ways is just like a long sea voyage. There are a few short pages of adventure separated by long and slow, often tedious pages of everything you could possibly learn about whales and whaling. Tonight I got to the final three chapters, and I couldn't stop reading. I was really surprised at how quickly the story reached its climax and how little resolution or falling action there was. It ends abruptly and grimly, but I really enjoyed it.
