All right, so I heard your clamor ........Moby Dick drowned and is now in the bottom of the ocean......instead, we are reading "The Lord of the Flies" If you have already gotten Moby Dick and you want to continue with it, it is all right with me. No problem.
I am going to provide a link for the "the lord...." e-book. in case you can get the book as such, far better, else enjoy e-reading.
