Mody Dick Challenge

Laura at Book Snob is hosting a Moby Dick reading challenge starting on Tuesday, June 15th. Since the book is on my list, I figure that now is as good a time as any to give it a go. She plans to read 100 pages and I'm hoping to follow that schedule as well. So head on over to Book Snob's blog and sign up to participate. Should be a whale of a time! (Sorry, I just couldn't help myself!)

Have fun! I am tempted to participate but I feel like Moby Dick is more of a winter read - at least for me!

I'm tempted as well. I have had a copy of that book sitting on my shelf for 10-15 years unread.

I am so excited you are reading this along with me. I started the book today and have read the introduction and chapter one. So far so good, it reads better than I had hoped.

Umm Moby Dick is one of my favorites of all time. I even considered (briefly) getting "Call me Ishmael" as a tattoo. No joke. I really hope you enjoy it.

This is good to hear! I had a pastry final tonight so I haven't started yet but I'm hoping to get a chapter or two in after I get something to eat.

Moby Dick is one classic I've never read. Good luck with this challenge, It will be interesting to see what you think of it.

Meant to read 1-2 chapters of Moby Dick last night and ended up reading 4. It's actually pretty engrossing and we haven't even gotten on a boat yet.
