It's ok if you'd rather read Moby Dick for the 18th time instead. Most
of us got it the first time around.

Another of your weird personality quirks. If you don't like something,
nobody should, huh?

Moby Dick? Jesus what a boring ****ing book. Melville could have
trimmed off about 400 pages and had a gripping novel.
I got it right away. Life on a whaling ship was miserable. We didn't
need to share that misery for almost 800 pages to read the story.
Beside that, if you are already bored at sea, the last thing I want to
read is a book about being bored at sea. I thought the GM 3&2 book was
more interesting. ;-)

Ahhh...you thought the book was about life aboard a whaling ship, but that
is only the back page story, as it were. I’m not surprised you actually
didn’t get it.

No it was the "back 400 pages", unless you were just speed reading
over that like you skim the notes you respond to here.
Like I said at 250-300 pages it would have been a gripping story. The
man needed an editor.

My copy of Anna Karenina runs about 700 pages. You probably shouldn't
read Tolstoy.

As a statement I read onetime about Russian y would never read another one.
What is it about Russian novels that when you get to liking a character
they kill them off. Okay to kill a few but all of them? To depressing.

Don't read the winds of war ;-)

I very much enjoyed that series, wish it'd been longer.

But you have to admit spoiler alert the Nazis get a lot of people
you were just starting to like. I read "winds" and "Remembrance"
during a freezing trip to Chicago where taking a coat just tricks you
into thinking you can go outside. If there were others I missed them.

Nope, just those two. It's a shame he didn't work through the Korean and Vietnam wars. Good author
(IMHO), although I'm sure Krause would say he's trash.
