The Great American Novel?

I vote Moby Dick because, even though you can skip the middle third, as has been noted, there's a lot going on in there.  Exploration, obsession, dry zooology, and one of the chapters is written in play format.  Things switch around and the bigness of the narrative is part of it, for me. 

Anyway post your opinions.

Agreed. It shows the horror and "splendor" of the American animal set loose. Fucking fried gold.
