Rejected first lines of Herman Melville’s MOBY DICK

  1. Ishmael’s the name, sailin’ the sea is my game.
  2. Call me Ishmael, but email me at [email protected].
  3. If you are reading this book based on the title alone, you may be disappointed to find out it’s considerably less erotic than you think.
  4. Call me Doug.
