It's that time again. Time for the Moby Dick Marathon in New Bedford. We're off to New Bedford ahead of the snow (at least I hope we're ahead of the snow) to spend 25 hours with my favorite novel. We'll check on how the oil is dripping from KOBO's bones, have coffee at Cafe Arpeggio and Celtic Coffee House, follow along until we fall asleep, keep an eye out for the rabbi who davens when he reads, listen to favorite passages in languages we don't speak, and all that cool stuff for the 15th year.
To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Moby Dick Marathon, I've gathered some of my accounts of marathons past for your reading pleasure.
