I toiled with this book for years, an off an on affair, a love that hurt me but wouldn't leave me. It was--dare I say it--my white whale. (I shouldn't have said it.) My twitter feed spent a short while devoted to whale quotes. It was brilliantly written, incredibly moving, I loved it, and I am glad to move on.
Moby Dick by Herman Meliville
