Was Herman Melville a pipe smoker? I never saw him on one of those famous pipe smoker lists, but I'd say he was: "Some moments passed, during which the thick vapor came from his mouth in quick and constant puffs, which blew back again into his face. 'How now' he soliloquized at last, withdrawing the tube, 'this smoking no longer soothes. Oh, my pipe! hard it must go with me if thy charm be gone!

While only halfway through the last book I posted, I am also reading a Lovecraft inspired work. I am reading the Providence graphic novel series by Alan Moore. It was the Cornell & Diehl release of Miskatonic Mixture that I recently bought that got me in the mood for something Lovecraftian.
