Anderson Layman's Blog has some quotations from Herman Melville. If I were able to assemble a dinner party of famous writers, living or dead, he'd be at the table. People often groan at the ramblings in Moby Dick - which may be The Great American Novel - although that somber work's asides also contain a lot of humor.
Check out his haunting tale of a slave ship, Benito Cereno.
An author who deserved far greater fame in his time.
