It is summer now, I think we can all agree. It's time for waterpark visits and novel-reading on the grass. I just finished reading Moby-Dick for the first time, what a strange book. In spite of being fairly well-informed about the book's odd novel/allegory/informational tract about whales structure I was still consistently surprised by it. I got the itch to read Moby-Dick after we watched Star Trek II, so now clearly the only way to bring it full-circle is to find the Patrick Stewart-as-Ahab TV movie...The shot above is the Bean in Chicago.
