Louisa May Alcott
Little Women

Neal Stephenson
Snow Crash

James Joyce
Ulysses
IV For, what with my whole world-wide wandering, What with my search drawn out through years, my hope Dwindled into a ghost not fit to cope With that obstreperous joy success would bring, I hardly tried now to rebuke the spring My heart made, finding failure in its scope.
Stephen King
Dark Tower 7 - The Dark Tower
Thus communed these; while to their lowly dome The full-fed swine return'd with evening home; Compell'd, reluctant, to their several sties, With din obstreperous, and ungrateful cries.
Homer
The Odyssey
