Had a chat with my neighbor that changed how I see classics

Old Mr. Henderson mentioned he rereads Moby Dick every year and each time finds something different. He pointed out how Ishmael's shift from fear to curiosity early on mirrors real life. Anybody else have a book that hits new chords with age?

Ehh, sounds a bit much to me. It's a book about a guy chasing a whale, not some deep life manual. Maybe you just get more desperate for meaning as you get older and start seeing it everywhere.
