I have started reading Moby Dick for the fifth time. It is definitely my favourite book. What else did Melvile write? Is any of it worth reading?

He also wrote Billy Budd (we read it in english class), and various stories about his sea adventures. The Piazzo Tales, umm . . . other stuff I don't remember.

Couldn't get through Moby Dick, but will try again when I'm older.

WHAT was the point of the huge chapter about the symbolism of the color white??

If you like the book that much I highly reccomend the TV adaptation starring Henry Thomas and Pactrick Stewart

I love Moby Dick! But that's the only book of Melville's I've ever read...
