Yeah, we got into the whole QueeQueg thing, and there is a consistent use of language that suggests this romantic thing over the large Savage man that goes into the romantic. I've also read parts that seemed questionable (the big one I keep wondering about involves this one guy getting pissed because he wanted a whale steak made out of the whale's penis, but he wanted it rare and hard).

I just wish it kept interest with stuff like that and didn't go into tangents on types of whales, or how to whale, or the like. -_-
