To Shoot or Not to Shoot
I shoot arrows, mess around in the garden, feed the birds and walk the hills.

Moby-Dick or, The Whale (Penguin Classics)
I can't get on with the prose style so I've started this several times and not got very far. I keep trying because I love "In the Heart of the Sea" by Nathaniel Philbrick which is an astonishing book about the real events that inspired Moby Dick and I would love to read the Melville book as well. The real life disaster of "In the Heart of the Sea" starts where Melville's book finishes - with the sinking of the ship and launching of 3 lifeboats. It is every bit as haunting as the story of Moby Dick.
