“You reading ‘Moby Dick’?”
PHILIP
“Yeah, I’m trying again.” (with the book in hand)
TONY
“It’s a great story.”
PHILIP
“You’ve read ‘Moby Dick’?”
TONY
“Yup; read it at school. Had to write a paper about it too. It’s a great story.”
The word from the street

Holla!
Have ‘ye seen the White Whale? ……. Have you seen Moby DIck?
I just read Moby Dick ( or The Whale). It was a Hardback Leather Bound Barton Press Edition. I purchased the book off Craigslist for $5.00. One of the selling points listed was the fact that the book was unread. It is no longer.
That Moby Dick is one a**-kicking Whale.
I like Melville. Give the short story Bartleby the Scrivner a read also.
Peace be with you.
