Marian H | My Favorite Sea Stories & Moby-Dick Book Review - Age of Sail Classic Literature @marianhreads | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
From Jules Verne to Jack London, here are some classic books (and films!) from my favorite genre, the sea story. I also read and react to my teenage thoughts on the novel Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, from way back before I even had a dedicated book blog.*

21:24 Moby-Dick: Book Review (from my high school years)
*Out of curiosity, I signed back into my hidden blog from times past and discovered I *had* posted a version of the MD review after all. However, it was greatly abbreviated - I had left out the entire (and most important) last section covering my interpretation, too insecure to share it, apparently. Glad it was saved in my docs... :)
