I read Moby Dick in college, and one of my favorite bits about the whale facts is that Melville probably knew they were all wrong! His only goal is to indeed be charming and tricksy. What a book. I enjoyed it. Kudos to you for reading it all on your own--I'm not sure I'd be able to make it entirely on my own.
