    Call me Ishmael.

    Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp. drizzly November of my soul; I account it high time to get on my bike again.

    A friend recently commented on the fact that I hadn't posted much here recently. I realised I was feeling jaded. There were no threads I felt like responding to here on kb. Bain- well, that has been truly well done over. M Jackson, Farrah dead- who cares? I haven't been on my bike in a month because it's so cold here and the days are short. So what am I doing?

    I'm re-reading Moby Dick.

    So there. Now I've started a thread I bet no one on kb will come near. Moby Dick...RE READING? Most would say once was enough, but I like it.

    Any takers?

    OK Ishmael, I can see your point.

    But for me, it's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea

    The original Moby Dick, now that's a thought

    Yeah I will bite, gently though, I dont know you that well afterall.

    I have never read Moby Dick so I can't comment really, I am sure it is wonderful if you are into people getting eaten by whales and somehow regurgitated again but I have re-read books I do enjoy.

    Welcome back Ishmael

    Wow, four responses so quickly. I am humbled- I must try harder here on kb.

    But seriously, Moby is cool, and I felt it warranted another read and reflection.
