Inspired by all the talk about books that we never finished, I decided to finish one of my unfinished books. So I picked up Moby Dick after an absence of about six years. Why Moby Dick? Because unlike most of the other books I stopped reading, I remember exactly where I left off (the part where Ishmael decides to write a will). I was actually enjoying the story, but got tired of the whaling chapters. I will take the advice someone made here, and simply skip those chapters.
