Exactly. Either way it’s stupid to keep it up and he should stop and just play ball.

I hear he prefers water.

I didn’t think they’d be in hot pursuit the whole time but yeah, kinda. I picked up the book expecting to read about Ahab insanely chasing after Moby Dick. I didn’t expect entire chapters about objects found on a whaling vessel.

Though I suppose that’s what whaling might have been like. Lots of boredom before you finally get the intense rush of the chase.

Yeah, I should have said whales and whaling. I don’t know the percentage of pages that are actually devoted to chasing Moby Dick but whatever it is it feels like a very small amount.

Very little of the book is them trying to kill Moby Dick. Most of it is a textbook about whales.

I refuse to accept that.
