Herman Melville

Herman Melville is one of my favorite writers. He wrote many short stories like Bartleby the Scrivener, but he most famous for the novel, MOBY DICK.

This is such a great novel, It incorporates everything in it with a large dose of religious views. May people feel that Moby Dick was supposed to be God. I love this book and fell in love with it when I was very small and watched the movie with my dad. Of course the book has way more to it.

I love Melville. I think Ive read everything he wrote. If you liked Moby Dick, I recommend White Jacket, his other sea voyage book, and also Typee, the story of his adoption by unspoiled South Sea Islanders on one of the Marquesas Islands. Both these books are believed to be essentially autobiographical accounts. Theyre not as dramatic as Moby Dick, but great reads anyway.
