180 pages in, and we've barely left port...

This week we discussed knowing that we're reading a "Big Book," and therefore expecting more drama out of Ahab as character. We also wondered whether, if we'd read Moby-Dick when it first was published, would we have been bored out of our minds by this point?

Books we reference:

"A History of the World in Six Glasses" by Tom Standage
"Banana: the Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World" by Dan Koeppel

Palate cleansers:

Megan - "Educated: A Memoir" by Tara Westover
Pete - Watched the film "Burning" based on the Haruki Murakami short story "Barn Burning," which is based on the William Faulkner short story "Barn Burning."
Jennie - This Land podcast and Galavant TV show
Alex - Apollo 11: Beyond the Moon podcast and the Apollo 11 documentary film
