Herman Melville's brilliant novel continues to resonate in our culture more than 150 years after it was written.
Plus it contains one of the most recognizable opening lines in English-language literature - "Call me Ishmael".

My American icon: The Adirondack Chair
Icon photo: http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-94267676004150_2123_4551132
This chair is an American Icon because it captures the American notion of leisure, and vacation, just by being a part of the scene. While nothing prevents it's use indoors, it's inherent weatherproofness, and large dimensions, make it a common feature of summer home not only in the Park that gives it it's name. but in vacation spots, around the world.
