I'm enjoying the Librivox recording of Herman Meville's Typee (1846). It's not as rich, visionary, or audacious as the later novels, but is still a treat. Michael Scherer does a fine job of reading, teasing out Melville's humor and splendid language. You can find the whole text from Gutenberg, or explore Virginia's "fluid text edition."
