What would you recommend

i've read redburn, white-jacket, typee, omoo, mardi, the encantadas, and i was unable to finish clarel and pierre. i recommend all of them whole heartedly, except pierre, which explores some very interesting themes but in the deepest purple prose you've ever read. this is still a partial recommendation. i can tell there's good stuff there, but the digging is a pain. outside of clarel and pierre, none of what i've read of him attempts to delve as deep as moby-dick did, but they're still fun.
typee and omoo are melville's true first hand account of his year and a half among cannibals, and what he was famous for during his liftime. mardi is a somewhat comic tale of some men travelling by boat between islands each with their own absurd system of governence, which will seem familiar to anyone who has read 'dead souls' or watched the anime 'kino no tabi'
the encantadas is melvilles account of the galapagos islands, interestingly melville visted shortly after darwin had, and remarked that someone should make a comparative study of the birds there.
clarel i consider melville's final boss. it seems comprehensible to me, but it shakes me of every two pages. it is an epic poem of 150 cantos and it is highly intertextual. what little i've been able to parse from it was highly rewarding.

Yes. Piazza tales, Pierre and Confidence-Man in particular. Haven't read Clarel yet.
