If your work of fiction isn't also half an encyclopedia on your favorite subject, can you even call yourself a novelist?

Me reading trashy romance novels...👀🤭

Is that one of your favorite books?

I do love Moby Dick. It's really good. Lots of whale facts.

Aside from whale facts, what do you like about it? Story never seemed interesting to me.

It is a pretty bizarre story. With so many scenes that just seems like slice of whaler life. It's been a few years since I last read it, but I'd say that there isn't anything specific I'd point to, but I just like it as a whole.

Been fishing?

Maybe twice. Fucking hated it lol

Maybe if you caught a whale, you’d feel differently? It’s not too different from mining bitcoin 😄

I wouldn't like to catch a whale. If I'm not going to eat it then I'd rather not make it suffer lol

Then catch something you would eat. Tuna? Salmon.

But the story is about moby cock not tuna fishing

They’re all parallels of the allegory of the cave.

I don’t see it
