book club's discussion of Ahab's Wife

Sounds as if your book club delves much more deeply into its books than mine does, Fiberbabe! I intend to recommend Ahab's Wife as our next selection and it'll be interesting to see how the comments compare. Although I remarked on the 666 pages, I never thought to count the illlustrations - very astute!

I did, however, come away with the same feeling about Moby Dick - I want to reread it to see how the details in Ahab's Wife might provide a fresh perspective, particularly on Ahab, but also on the other characters.
