The more I hear about Moby Dick, the more I’m convince I will never read it.
And I’ve got “Waiting for Columbus” on my reading list for 2010 .. I’m so excited!

I think we may be about the same place in Moby Dick. I'm glad you enjoyed your other book. I'll be watching for your thoughts on it. I had thought about buying that one at some point. .-= Darlene´s last blog ..Book Review: Wild Blue Under by Judi Fennell =-.

Waiting for Columbus sounds like an unusual book. Like the other commenters, I thought that humbug just meant a general spirit of being grumpy.

And here I thought humbug was the equivalent of drat or something like that. .-= Kathy´s last blog ..Mailbox Monday =-.

and I always thought of a humbug as just a grump, not actually someone deceitful. sinister, even! I love your Moby updates... and I need to go make sure I have Waiting for Columbus on my tbr. Maybe this is what I will get my mother as a gift. I keep waffling and might end up buying her a stack of books instead. .-= Care´s last blog ..The Virgin Blue =-.

Huh, I always thought humbug was a made-up word. Like Quidditch. .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..TSS-Challenge Update =-.

You aren't doing a good job of selling me on Moby Dick. LOL Waiting for Columbus on the other hand, I may just have to get myself a copy of that one. .-= Literary Feline´s last blog ..Sunday Salon: This & That =-.

They are finally at sea but we have yet to “see” Ahab…aka Big Thunder or whatever Elijah called him. I love the series Deadliest Catch so I am hoping for a lot of action. You think I’ll get it?

I suspect you’re being sarcastic about Melville. On the other hand, I’m glad you got Monday over with so quickly because Mondays generally run very long.

I have Waiting for Columbus on my list, but still don’t know much about it except that those who have read it are rhapsodic, which seems like a good recommendation for someone with the moniker rhapsody in books. I look forward to your review!
