Okay, I’m throwing down the proverbial gauntlet…at my own feet! Last night I purchased Moby Dick at the local bookstore. It come complete with neat maps and drawings and a tiny dictionary to help me understand the lingo of the high seas! My goal: read a chapter a day until I’m finished. I am thinking I may even do little updates on the blog each day.
I plan on beginning my siege of Melville after I finish Blood Meridian which, at the rate I’m going, should be around February (ha-ha-ha — actually more like next week.) Anyway, I’ll make sure to post when I begin the personal abuse. Of course some would say that going from Blood Meridian to Moby Dick is just a continuation of abuse.

Whatever, man.

Call me Ishmael.

….. the end …..
