FAQs
7Q: How do I sign up to read?
A: The 2012 lineup is full; however, we are taking alternates in the event a scheduled reader has to cancel or can’t make it. Please email mobydickmarathonnyc@gmail.com if you’re interested in signing up for an alternate.
Q: Are you running to ACK (Nantucket)?
A: No! We are running nowhere. We will only be exercising our minds; the “marathon” denotes a straight-through (in our case, we’ll be breaking to sleep at night, though) reading of the book.
Q: How come sometimes it’s “Moby Dick” and sometimes it’s “Moby-Dick”?
A: The name of the book is Moby-Dick; the name of the whale in the book is Moby Dick. We don’t know why, but that’s the punctuation difference. Book, hyphen; whale, no hyphen.

Are you going to be posting MP3s a la the Moby Dick Big Read?
Terry,
Unfortunately, we don’t the resources to record the marathon at this time. We love the Big Read though!
Best,
