You can use "20,000 leagues under the sea" instead of Moby Dick. Both were written at the same time, both deal with ocean adventures, and both (IMHO) are much longer than they need to be. Then you can have multiple Jules tests, depending on occasion!
Moby Dick had a much worse ratio of "size of good novel trying to get out / actual size", in my opinion.
I love how Moby Dick suddenly puts the story on hold and diverges into a chapter dealing with the classification of whales. 19th century novels do that a lot with Victor Hugo diverging into the architecture of Paris or whatever in his novels.

#33And here I thought this was going to be, “do a push up every time you have to look up a word in the dictionary while reading Moby Dick.”
Here I was, thinking it would be a very, very odd workout set to Moby's music.

No, that would be doing curls with a printed copy of the book.
Alternatively, I'm sure recreating the drum solo from the Zeppelin song of the same name would get you sweaty. For advanced athletes, do the live version.

#35This made me test my own app with the book. And even though it had no issues loading it, it still left me thinking I can get much better performance on scrolling.
small video I made for demonstration purpose: https://youtu.be/fiJ0vJLhcN8
I am overall pretty happy with iced-rs

I used war and peace to explain to a CEO how wasteful a mobile API was; twelve distinct items of data to display but we sent JSON larger than war and peace.
I used to use this as my example for how big a megabyte actually is. I think the entire text is 4 MB uncompressed (a nagging voice in my head says 16 MB, but I think that's just the residual part of me that never really believed how big a MB actually is).
An ASCII page is about 4k, so roughly 1000 pages.

Moby Dick is often quite high on the lists of greatest novels of all time. It seems to me that all of that stuff you think is not part of the good novel trying to get out is part of why it’s considered great, not merely good
I rather take the tedious parts as Ishmael seeing the divine in the world of tedious particulars, although such kludgy pointers as me saying that destroy the real meaning, as the thing represented itself
