Query: I flunked Moby Dick

To be honest, I know this book is on a lot of 100-best-book lists of a lot of very smart, well read people. I just don't get it. I read it when I was quite young and I should probably give it another try - but I just can't force myself to do it when there are so many other great books I still haven't read and so many I want to re-read. Sorry, Herman. I do remember reading Typee and enjoying it. But my memories of Moby Dick are that it was turgid, plodding, and generally dispiriting.
