I thin I need to swap the books around and read the aforementioned book when I am more awake and Moby Dick just before I go to bed. I love the descriptions in Melville's book. He mentions that the seaman come in with icicles on vast beards and likens them to bears. One complains of a head cold and is handed "a pitch-like potion of gin and molasses." Could you imagine it? You'd either get well damn quick or die - It would certainly cure your problems one way or another...
