Moby Dick

Over this past summer, our Honors Enlgish assignment was to read Moby Dick. If you don't know this book, it's 552 pages about a crazy sea captain and his crew who go on an adventure to find the most powerful whale in the ocean. But intertwined with the story are pages and pages of mind-numbing details about whaling history and techniques. For this reason, it has become a somewhat dreaded novel. And I have to agree. It was definitely a difficult read. But just after I finished it, my sister sent me this link. This man decided to draw an illustration for every page of Moby Dick. That's 552 illustrations! I love the idea of turning such a arduous book into a beautiful work of art. Here is the link and some of my favorite illustrations:
