Lol! that's good one. Making fun of "Moby Dick" always works for me. But if Ahab had been Catholic, who would Khan quote as he launches the Genesis Device? Maybe one of the damned from Dante's Inferno...
True. But I'm not sure a few good movie lines were worth some of the chapters I had to trudge through to finish this book. They were pretty good lines, though...
This is great! I haven't read the book but this seems about right. Now I will spend the day wondering, Wouldn't Ahab's obsession prevented him from the level of Sunday worship (and lack of activity) a Calvinist would have seen as sufficient?

Thanks for the smile-maker!
Well, Melville did consider the work an act of blasphemy.
