RE: Moby Dick by Herman Melville 1851 - Book Review
Whaling is unsustainable and bad for the Earth and whales, so I disagree with this activity. This book that glorifies the killing of our cetacean friends is just wrong and should be read with caution knowing that many whales died. Nantucket is a city built on the blood and bones of whales.
I agree, but the book was written in 1851 and it was cool to do that sort of thing back then.
