Reply to comment by kiwilapple in [OC] Inspired by movie barcodes, I made some emotional barcodes for books by Campbell_MG

Warning, the middle of the book is EXTREMELY dry, but I think you'll like the friendship that develops between the New Englander Ismael and a harponner named Queequeg, a Polynesian tattooed cannibal.

I liked the exhaustive discourse on cetology. It's almost religious. But not really a book for people who need constant stimulation and action scenes

The book isn’t dry. The prose is brilliantly evocative and is consistently great throughout.
