1851 Moby Dick is Published for the First Time

Today, Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is an 1851 novel by American writer Herman Melville. The book is the sailor Ishmael’s narrative of the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaling ship Pequod, for revenge against Moby Dick, the giant white sperm whale that on the ship’s previous voyage bit off Ahab’s leg at the knee. A contribution to the literature of the American Renaissance, Moby-Dick was published to mixed reviews, was a commercial failure, and was out of print at the time of the author’s death in 1891. Its reputation as a “Great American Novel” was established only in the 20th century, after the 1919 centennial of its author’s birth. William Faulkner wished he had written the book himself and D. H. Lawrence called it “one of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world” and “the greatest book of the sea ever written”. Its opening sentence, “Call me Ishmael”, is among world literature’s most famous.

My favorite Pasta dish #National Pasta Day

First of all I would like to say happy National Pasta Day and start off by saying iconic pasta is the best. while everybody says that the classic iconic pasta is overrated I feel like it’s small yet flavorful while still packing that punch. I dislike tuna casserole, something that’s supposed to be cold mixed with something with wayyyy different textures… I don’t see myself personally eating it.
