Few things, even in literature, can really be said to be unique — but Moby Dick is truly unlike anything written before or since. The novel is nominally about the obsessive hunt by the crazed Captain Ahab of the book’s eponymous white whale. But interspersed in that story are digressions, paradoxes, philosophical riffs on whaling and life, and a display of techniques so advanced for its time that some have referred to the 1851 Moby Dick as the first “modern” novel.(Summary by Stewart Wills)

Every single chapter begins with an intro about it being a LibriVox recording, and it being in the public domain, which is horribly distracting. The reader has this weird monotone that sounds like he&#39;s trying to not have one, but doesn&#39;t know how.

Unlistenable

Moby Sick is an incredibly dense book.  The reader of this podcast adds voices and inflection making the book easier to follow.

Good reader
