Right on. How did Gibbons ever get that thing published? It was incoherent and long- not a good combination.
And I did read Moby Dick. Why I read it I will never know. A little voice in my head said "It must get better. It HAS to get better." I have since killed that little voice.
Same thing with anything written by Jane Austin. Pride and Prejudice is one of the top 5 most terrible books I have read.
