Re: PESO - Cordage
I've been a avid reader since I was a child. I moved from the children's library in Durham, NC (where I grew up) to the adult library at about age 10 because the children's library had no books left that I hadn't already read at least once. I don't know why, but ALL of the books assigned for required reading in my High School (with the exception of Silas Marner - which might have been a "reader's digest" version) were were like slogging your way through neck deep molasses. I have re-read a couple of them (not Moby Dick, and NOT The Scarlet Letter), and they're still way to prolix.

Very pleasing image. Even more so knowing it was done on film.

Re: PESO - Cordage
I bet it was 35 or 40 years ago for me, too. I gave it up after Hermie went on and on about whether a whale is a fish or a mammal (duh!) and IIRC he concluded that it's a fish. My young mind was about to explode (since I KNEW the answer, and "fish" wasn't it!) so I put the book down and never picked it up again. I'd already seen the movie anyway and they didn't put all that mammal/fish stuff in. Not Gregory Peck's best vehicle but it was better than the book.
