I was just thinking today a book about Queequeg would be fascinating. Ahab too, of course, but Queequeg would be amazing. If Jon is pondering a next topic!

I'm looking for a few "grab and never let go" reads to fill in gaps. Mystery, fantasy, some sci-fi but nothing terribly technical, if that's a thing! I'm not great at huge casts of characters, like in Game of Thrones. I read War and Peace and loved it, sure, but selectively ignored some characters.
