the ol’ meme that americans will use anything other than the metric system
These passages crack me up. Did Melville led the way!? Chapter 81 and 103.

Amazon pitches the reading age at 3-5 years old.
I can barely take it as an old man.

The Grand Armada
I just finished this chapter and I had to take a walk. Hell, this book has stopped me cold more times than I can recall with any other book. But this chapter stirred something in me. The scenes are horrific, making Hellraiser seem like child’s play. The whole concept of the druggs, the wounded whale causing an apocalyptic panic in the heard. But, my god, the umbilical cord tangled in the rope! He describes it so matter-of-factly, with no mythical analogies. It was so out of character, I had to re-read it to make sure I understood.
