minus-square@minibyte@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•edit-28 months agoA double feature of Moby Dick - Herman Melville and In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex - Nathaniel Philbrick. That should keep you busy for awhile.
minus-square@Simon@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilink1•8 months agoDefinitely has the vibe of the original Princess Bride. I might have to look around for an abridged version.
minus-square@TheKingBee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•8 months agoBusy maybe, but will the be entertained. I read Moby Dick once and it was not enjoyable in the least. It is boring as fuck.
