3. Moby Dick - Herman Melville
Captain Ahab, a sailor and captain of the good ship Pequod, sets off on a mission to hunt a whale. This is not just any whale, though. It is a white whale that is larger and craftier than any other whale in the ocean, and it goes by the name of Moby Dick.

The book is told from the viewpoint of Ishmael, who was a crew-member on board the ship. Ishmael shares the adventures of Captain Ahab and the rest of the crew in their pursuit of Moby Dick. Ahab eventually finds Moby Dick, who fights off his attackers and everybody on the Pequod is killed, except for Ishmael who lives to tell the tale.
