Might refer to it later when I do a second reading of Moby Dick.

So far this book hasn't been going much into an exposition of the themes and philosophical underpinnings of Moby Dick - to help grasp more from the text. It's more of giving you facts, snippets of history and context behind Melville's various choices throughout the book. That isn't as interesting to me at this moment, so I'll reserve this book for a later reading of Moby Dick.
