I'm really glad January had 348 days this year as it enabled me to finish #AMonthOfDick 🐋

So now that #amonthofdick is done (I am sad! I want to do it again!) let me recommend this excellent book: Melville/Ish mentions the sinking of the Essex at one point

I swear, this is one of the saddest sentences in the entire novel:
"Therefore it was that Flask once admitted in private, that ever since he had arisen to the dignity of an officer, from that moment he had never known what it was to be otherwise than hungry, more or less." 🐋 #AMonthOfDick

I'm not joining this time but I did the original #amonthofdick, and: You officially have permission to skip or skim the cetology chapter, there's no Moby-Dick police 🐋

This weekend I started copyediting a novel that can only be described as Lesbian Moby-Dick in Space, and the fact that I read Actual Moby-Dick a year and a half ago with #amonthofdick is proving extremely useful. 🐋

See, first go and someone's come up with something better!
I think part of my problem is I think nothing will top #AMonthOfDick and I just give up immediately.

If any 🐳🐋 Moby Dick fans are interested in doing crowdsourced transcription, fromthepage.com now has "the journal of Hezekiah Starbuck (1749-1830), a Nantucket whaler." 😂 #amonthofdick

Label from the Metropolitan Museum’s Sleeping Beauties exhibition. The text begins “‘It is the hat that matters the most,’ notes Rezia, the Italian milliner in Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs. Dalloway (1925).”
Label from the Metropolitan Museum’s Sleeping Beauties exhibition. The text begins “‘Everyone knows meditation and water are wedded forever,’ Herman Melville exclaimed in Moby-Dick; or, The Whale (1851), a sentiment echoed in the garments in this gallery.”
I finally went to see the Sleeping Beauties exhibition at the Met, and I think someone there has been in our #MrsD and #AMonthOfDick reading groups:

Did I buy this beer solely for #amonthofdick? Of course not; that would be ridiculous! I just convinced my wife we should spend a weekend in New Bedford last fall so we could visit the Whaling Museum and then discovered the brewery while we were there. 🐋

A can of “Ishm-ale” from Moby Dick Brewing Company
I was saving this for the end #AMonthOfDick, but I fell too far behind. Same with #MiddleMarchMadness. But I managed to keep up with #HotFrankSummer every day, so now I’m celebrating finishing all three books. 🐋 🛖 🔩

hey I will say if you are at all interested in #MiddleMarchMadness but you fell off during #AMonthOfDick ... from what I have read so far Middlemarch seems like a smoother reading experience than Moby Dick. There's a TON going on and the language is beautiful but it's not as... chunky? As Moby Dick

A normal-sized paperback of George Eliot’s novel Middlemarch resting atop a leviathan-sized hardcover of Herman Melville’s novel Moby-Dick.
The most important thing I learned from #AMonthOfDick was the importance of getting a normal-sized copy of the book for #MiddlemarchMadness 🐋 🛖

Forgot to share that my favorite part of #aMonthofDick in Jan was telling a friend I’d become obsessed with Dick-posting and him thinking I’d *just* discovered dick pics lololol 🐋

Dunno if someone posted this in #aMonthofDick before but if you at all enjoyed MD and like actually exciting history this book is fucking amazing. And the perfect tie-in. And much less of a slog than MD lol. 🐋 (Yes the movie sucks, ignore it)
