“Moby Dick” by Herman Melville

"Moby Dick" ($24)

The story of the epic quest to catch a great, white whale, this novel from 1851 is studded with vengeance, madness, and some of history's best writing about the sea. The opening line of the subversive epic, "Call me Ishmael," is one of the most famous of all time. And some have argued it's one of the earliest queer novels ever written.
