I registered just so I could post this. XD

I have to say Moby Dick. I somehow managed to struggle through it when I was eleven, although I definitely didn't understand it. I've trying reading it again, but just thinking about all the extra whaling information that's dumped in on top of the plot. D: I've never managed to finish it again, now that I'm old enough to grasp what's going on in the story.

Please forgive any typos, misspellings, or poor grammar. I just pulled an all-nighter. So sleepy...

I don't quite remember. Never read the book.

I feel like this is a trend.

Been an insomniac my whole life. And yes, new thread time. Hurry up so I can post before work.
