- aulsmith : Skipping. Too much blubber.rainpebble : puts my brain in a muddle no matter how many attempts I make to read it.amanda4242: I read it and discovered that I could quite happily have gone through life without having read it.sturlington : Read in college.JalenV: Read twice for different classes (one definitely in college), chose it the second time because I remembered enough from dfiscussing it the first time I figured it would help the second. (Still wonder if that preacher who appeared early in the book gave the same sermon every Sunday.)Aprill: I love Melville's writing.ManWithAnAgenda : Read. Interesting.MyFathersDragon: I liked the book in 5th grade, but when I tried rereading in 11th grade, I didn’t find it interesting enough to read it, perhaps because I had previously read it.
