Get the Herman Melville mug.A writer, considered by many, to be the next J.R.R. Tolkien.
His four books, in order, are "King Rat" about a young man who discovers his heritage is closely intertwined with legend, "Perdido Street Station" the first book in an unnamed series set on a world called Bas-Lag. In it, a scientist and his xenian (alien) lover uleash a nightmare on the city of New Crobuzon. "The Scar" second in the series, about a woman named Bellis Coldwine fleeing the city in the peripheral wake of the events in the previous. It delves much deeper into the history first glimpsed in "Perdido Street Station". Most recently is "Iron Council" which follows the history of the 'perpetual train' and how it comes to help out several people.
Though obscure he's won or been nominated for more awards than many writers produce.

Get the Merville mug.A dix hills kind of town right next door to the hills of dix. Its in the same school district as the dix hills kids being the half hollow hills district. Both the northern state and LIE run though it and melville has its own post office unlike dixhills. which pretty much makes dix hills huntington station, but dont tell anyone from dix hills that.
For example, you could say im a dix hillian but then again i dont even live in dix hills i live in Melville.
