Time crunch or no, I'm going to fit in Moby-Dick, which I'm amazed to realize I read ten years ago. During my first Vancouver rainy "season" (lasts October to March) which was appropriately gloomy. Probably also helped that the ocean was a block or two downhill.

I remember trying to read it for the first time in 2000 on a trans-Atlantic flight. It was too good. I read one or two paragraphs and said that to myself: this writing is too good to even read. And set it down for three years. Never said that to myself about another book. "How amazing" plenty of times, "so good I need to stop for a minute," but not three years.

I don´t think so but may have in a Viking translation (same Gotham City period) but there was enough reason not to. If not and I notice I promise to do so, I am often a late noticer: that´s Paris, off course but too late for regrets now. At least, you are not my BF, it helps a lot.
