I am also (still) reading ‘Moby Dick’ and I did manage to get through ‘Blood Meridian’ recently, just in case I need to prove that I am actually an adult and can manage books longer than ninety pages. :)

Whenever this comes up at the bookstore I like to recommend SWANN'S WAY by Marcel Proust, which is way more ebullient and entertaining than we all think it is! And I'll be the 19th vote in this thread for MOBY DICK. 😄 🐳

Moby-Dick, that is if you like stories about obsession, madness, death, & the nature of reality that include fart jokes, snuggling with cannibals, & harpoons bursting into flames. Funny, too: “Think not, is my eleventh commandment; and sleep when you can, is my twelfth.”

Haha...but I did just reread AK and it's fantastic! Otherwise, not sure how long PORTRAIT OF A LADY is, but I was surprised at how well it had aged since undergrad days. And MOBY-DICK is the best post-modern novel out there. Happy reading!
