Erklärungen
aulsmith : Skipping. Too much blubber.
rainpebble : puts my brain in a muddle no matter how many attempts I make to read it.
amanda4242: I read it and discovered that I could quite happily have gone through life without having read it.
sturlington : Read in college.
JalenV: Read twice for different classes (one definitely in college), chose it the second time because I remembered enough from dfiscussing it the first time I figured it would help the second. (Still wonder if that preacher who appeared early in the book gave the same sermon every Sunday.)
Aprill: I love Melville's writing.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read. Interesting.
MyFathersDragon: I liked the book in 5th grade, but when I tried rereading in 11th grade, I didn’t find it interesting enough to read it, perhaps because I had previously read it.

aulsmith: I've read a lot of this, but I mean to sit down and read it all the way through someday.
sturlington : Read at least in part in high school
JalenV: Had a summer job once where, after I wrote my weekly report, there was nothing to do. I decided that would be improve my mind day and read then. It did give me a glimpse of how cultures differ when a well-born youth pretending to be a kitchen boy didn't hold it against a well-born young lady for the way she mistreated him when she didn't know who he was.

ManWithAnAgenda : Read.
MyFathersDragon: We read the Secret Sharer in English class, but on the other side of it (upside down from each other) was this one, so I read it because it was available. The book also described it as a Joseph Conrad classic. I was determined to read lots of books considered classics when I was in high school.
