In grade 9 I had to do a book report that compared two books by the same author and I chose Moby Dick and Billy Budd.

My teacher tried to talk me out of it, but I insisted and ultimately she let me do it because Billy Budd is very a short novella.

To this day, Moby Dick is still my second favorite book of all time (with my all time favourite being The Lord of the Rings). I only read it once, 20 years ago, for a book report but it really stuck with me.



I read it maybe 15 years ago and I just remembere it as that book with wale facts.
