    There was a Woody Allen movie, Zelig, where the title character never did get through Moby Dick.

    I actually did read it, but that was some 50 years ago, and I can’t say I remember much about it.

    Not so much HOW does it work, but rather, why ? What dolt can’t read a cereal box in one sitting ?

    I haven’t had my morning coffee yet and thought that was a razor blade at first.

    They also have short stories…Alfred Hitchcock Murder Mystery Cocoa Whodunits.

    Not sure if it’s still in print, there once was a monthly collection entitled “Alfred Hitchcock Murder Mysteries Magazine”. A great collection of short stories. As you’d guess, murder and other fun and games from various authors.

    I was today-years-old when I learned that the title of the book is “Moby-Dick” and not “Moby Dick”.

    I always have problems with a thick novel that has had about 100 thick treatises written about what it means. I wonder why no one bothered to ask Melville while he was still alive.

    Haven’t seen all the comments on this subject & wondered if anyone has suggested “One Flew Over the Cocoa Puffs”

    IIRC . . . Captain Ahab was batsh!t crazy and obsessed about a white whale. The whale was smarter than him.

    Actually, the story behind that stick-note glue is more interesting than Moby-Dick. It started out as a failed formula, sat in a drawer unused for years, and then somebody had the bright idea to use it for temporary notes, and the rest was history.
