Well, this blogger is now giving Moby Dick the one-drawing-per-page treatment, and I heartily recommend it for the same reason that I recommended Smith's book. It's not the most original idea, obviously, but this meticulous collaboration between artist and long-dead author is fascinating enough to make it worthwhile. The illustration on this post is today's drawing, "Whaling not respectable? Whaling is imperial! By old English statutory law, the whale is declared "a royal fish"." (page 106.) If you've always wanted to read Moby Dick, maybe you should follow along with this blog. You'll be done in less than 500 days, if he keeps up his page-a-day routine.
