Moby Dick. It's great so far, with wonderfully diverse, dense writing. For some reason I have trouble reading anything but the so-called "literary classics". Perhaps it's the fact that there are so many I could quite literally never read them all in my lifetime, so why waste time with anything else? I understand that's a somewhat flawed argument ("classics" are somewhat subjective), but I cannot bring myself to read much else.
