I don’t see myself reading Delaney either. That’s why I’m taking along Moby Dick as a backup. At least I’m not taking Brideshead Revisited; if I did, it would mark the third year of trying to make it all the way through that turgid novel.

I’d love to read Moby Dick again! Good luck with Delany. Somehow, I just don’t see you reading a book like that. But I could be wrong

I intend to take “Dhalgren” by Delaney and “White Noise” by Delillo. As a backup, I am taking “Moby Dick.” I just finished reading a book titled “In the Heart of the Sea,” which is about the sea disaster on which “Moby Dick” is based. I’d like to read the novel again; I remember thinking very highly of it when I read it long ago.

I know choosing your reading material for the yearly fishing trip is always a crucial matter for you. Mind sharing the list?
