My daughter Planet has watched me read and reread Moby Dick year after year for years, hours into days, days into weeks, weeks into months. For Giftmas this year she special ordered for me an abridgment that distills the novel to its essence so I don't spend three months of 2014 rereading the full version yet again. I've read the abridged 42 times since Giftmas. Wait.......43. Like the original, it gets better with each rereading.
