Summary
Ever wondered what Moby Dick is even about? Or have you read Moby Dick and want to relive the Pequod's highs and lows without trying to speak 19th century? This is a very reliable and accurate summary of Moby Dick, written like I am your best friend explaining my hyperfixation to you (because I am). Condenses 210k of Herman Melville's favorite whale facts into a very manageable 30k for your enjoyment! Also I point out all the gay stuff and interrupt myself a lot, but Melville does that anyway so it's not much different. Spoiler warning for Moby Dick, obviously.

Summary
An excerpt taking place between Chapter 90 and Chapter 91 of the novel
Not that you actually need to have read the novel to understand this.For the prompt: Just because he is a character in a too-long 19th century classic does NOT mean Starbuck cannot be whumped. He can be and he is being. With historical accuracy too.

Summary
If, as ye take this broad recounting, aught has looked odd in the culture of whalemen— indeed, should you be anything less than a salt-seasoned veteran of that most noble fishery, and particularly to that fellow among ye whose feet have never left the hard-packed soil of his native land, that veritable tree of devout landsmen from whom roots may well spring into the earth or all life exist in a bulb beneath its surface— to you most especially, it may be necessary to preface the next recounting with an explication of the whaleman’s notion of the holiday.
During the search for the leaking barrel of whale oil, a detour becomes necessary.
A light-hearted vignette inserted into the story of Moby Dick, fulfilling that fundamental human desire to give the crew of the Pequod a beach episode to relax.

Summary
Queequeg was picked by the PPDC from a pool of thousands of candidates to be the new pilot for Pequod Prophet in the Oakland Shatterdome. The only problem is that he can't seem to find a single person to drift with and time is running out. And that’s not even mentioning the mysterious white kaiju being sighted around the world, an increasingly reclusive and obsessive Shatterdome head, and an attractive civilian who falls into his life through an open window.
