Where'd you find these on the internet, Cal? They're terrific! I've been stuck at Chapter 87 of Moby Dick for the last 3 years but I was just thinking yesterday that I really should go back and finally finish it. Only 50 or so more chapters left to go!

Moby Dick is a worse slog than LOTR. 100 pages on turning whale blubber into oil and I was done. I will watch movie and argue the finer points with anyone who actually understoon that book.

The book is an undertaking, to be sure, but an incredible bit of writing.

Mellville knew way too much about Whales and it shows. I do love me a good adventure on the sea.

That being said there is a two part Treasure Island with Donald Sutherland and Eddie Izzard on SPACE (OF ALL CHANNELS) Might be good or a trainwreck, each I enjoy.

Saw that one and the best one for me is the old 1934 movie with Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper. That has the best lines and the melodramatic acting is awesome. One of my favorite movies.
