Four Words....


"White Whale! Holy Grail!"
-"Blood and Thunder" by Mastodon

So I'm supposed to be reading Survivor: A Novel by Chuck Palahniuk, but I've just been listening to way too much of Mastodon's Leviathan lately. I'm going to have to but Chuck on the back-burner for a while and pick up Moby Dick (or The Whale) by Herman Melville. I am so excited! And it's the special leather-bound edition, too. (Not vegan, I know, but my grandparents got it for me as a 13th birthday present.)

Also, if you haven't heard of Mastodon or their album Leviathan, check out this link and give it a listen!! It's a whole album about Moby Dick!!

    Enjoy the book! If you need a boost with any of the vocab or references, there's a free online annotation at powermobydick.com.
