Question of the Week: Current Reading

Thursday, November 13, 2008

What book are you reading right now?

Unfortunately, Moby Dick.

I was bored the other night and wanted something to read. Since none of my books at the library had come in yet, I decided to peruse our bookshelf at home. As I looked through our selection I asked Tom if he had any recommendations. Much to my chagrin, he suggested Moby Dick. For the last seven years I have seen that book sitting on our bookshelf and have never once been tempted by it. Why did he have to suggest that one? I was in a strange mood though and decided to accept the challenge. I am only on chapter three, but so far I am disappointed. (How many ways does Ishmael have to describe his love of the water?) Tom keeps telling me that it gets better once he sets sail. We will see...

So what are some other sea books you don't like? Are there many sea books out there?
