Pierre possibly, especially if you’re aware of how poorly Moby-Dick was received at the time of release, Pierre is very reflective of that.
Short stories are great to continue on with as well, there are a few collections easily available.

Yeah I’ve heard mixed things about Pierre, but I’m reading another high society book (Anna Karenina) now. Billy Budd and The Confidence-Man seem cool though.
