Marathon reading of "Moby Dick" at Luther College goes well

Surrounded by a boat wheel, Luther student Sarah King reads from "Moby Dick" on Saturday

It took 24 hours, but students in the American Novel class at Luther College were able to complete a marathon reading of Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" over the weekend.

English professor Erik Grayson organized the reading, which relied on over 40 students, 10 faculty members and a number of community volunteers.  Grayson says the reading in the Concourse of Valders Hall of Science managed to attract a crowd--even at 3:00 in the morning on Saturday!
