okay so I’m like one chapter into “Moby Dick”, and when you guys all said it was super gay I was just picturing like your standard mildly homoerotic shirtless sailors, not an innkeeper giving Ishmael a complete nervous breakdown by saying they’re out of beds and he needs to share with another man

I had forgotten how much I loved Moby Dick. When my brain returns, I must read it again.

reader, keep going... in the morning twil be made clear

I love this so much. Moby-Dick is joyfully weird and joyfully queer and it is so fun to watch someone experience this for the first time!

See this is how we get kids to read classical literature

I’m not saying it didn’t stir something in his pants, but sharing a bed was a normal practice at that time and wasn’t considered gay. IIRC Abraham Lincoln shared a bed with a man for years while building his business.

you're in for a ride

Run this to 40seconds in, I think the rest is going to have spoilers. youtu.be/XIoAYq9iD4A?...

You have to call him Ishmael bc if you call him Good Girl he cries uncontrollably for 6 hours

It is the best and the worst thing you will ever read. Often at the same time. This guy needs so much therapy, but instead he's on a boat infodumping whale facts of dubious veracity and doing little character sketches of everyone that I don't think he knows are insulting.

Ishmael and Queequeg stay at an inn owned by my wife’s family when they go to Nantucket.* *They’ve been farming there for hundreds of years. Nobody’s a billionaire hedge-funder.
