A while back in a "Random Links" post, I included a link to the Moby Dick Big Read site. This project started in September, and the group behind it is posting one chapter of Moby Dick per day on the site, free for anyone to download or stream. Each chapter is read by a different celebrity of sorts: actors, authors, poets, artists, professors, etc.
For reasons I can't totally explain, I am in love with Chapter 60. It has a fairly technical description of the whaling line, which will be interesting to anyone interested in ships and probably tediously boring to anyone else, and it ends with a surprisingly philosophical turn. Check it out.
