Hello how may I help you? I need some help remembering a book I read long ago. Certainly! I can help you with that. Do you remember any details about the book Well it was mainly about whale hunting with some other stuff thrown in. Okay, hm, was this book published recently? no I read it 45 years ago and I think it was old then. Oh, okay. Was the author a man or a woman? I don't know that. I was a little kid when I read it and I don't even think I knew what author meant back then. Ok, let me check this out. The only book that matches your description is Moby Dick Alot of people suggest that but that wasn't it. Hm, I can't find another book in the database that matches your description. I'm sorry I think I'll ask the local librairian. Thanks. No problem!
