Oh my god...this is a real book. I eagerly await its arrival in the mail.
The Whale: A Love Story by Mark Beauregard
Edit: The internet lied to me. Behold the real Hawthorne and Melville.In the summer of 1850, Herman Melville finds himself hounded by creditors and afraid his writing career might be coming to an end—his last three novels have been commercial failures and the critics have turned against him. In despair, Melville takes his family for a vacation to his cousin’s farm in the Berkshires, where he meets Nathaniel Hawthorne at a picnic—and his life turns upside down.

I had the same thought, but I can only find the photo in these two articles about Melville and Hawthorne:

The guy on the right does look like a beardless, short-haired Melville. I don't know! I'm not a detective!

I don't know how some of you are able to read so much. If I finish two books in a month I am proud of myself. haha

Rub it in
I try to use my tube journey to and from work to read - 25 minutes each way, generally.
I generally write between 10pm and 2am but, at least one day a week, I'll use that time to do some reading (you can't really write if you don't read, no matter how good you think you might be). If the words aren't coming, I'll read.

Finished it in one sitting. Good read.
Not like this!Herman said, “Will you not say it, even once?”
“Say what?”
A sudden gust whipped their hair and fluttered their coattails. Herman’s eyes watered from the cold. Hawthorne waited till the breeze died down to speak, and when he finally did, his words came out in a whisper.
“I love you, Herman.”
Melville thought his whole body might unwind like a yarn puppet. “I love you, too, Nathaniel”
Hawthorne nodded, turned away, and walked down the path into the dell, into the darkness. He did not look back.

I'll be reading a Poe collection next.
