Finished Reading: The Wahhabi Code – How the Saudis Spread Extremism Globally by Terence Ward
Finished Reading: Moby Dick by Herman Melville
Moby Dick by Herman Melville
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
I understand many believe this book to be a classic and rate it highly. However, in my opinion, it was an exercise in self-indulgent pedantry and tedium, that I foolishly battled through so that I could simply be satisfied with having got through the thing.
