Objective ranking, by era
Melville (followed distantly by Conrad; James sits in the corner and babbles incoherently to himself), Joyce (followed, by means of mechanical precision and depth of knowledge, by Pynchon; Umberto Eco is somewhere back there too, having a meal with Borges). Nabokov (followed by Bellow and Updike)

>best typeface
you absolute plebian; the best typefaces (for print) are as follows: Minion, Galliard, Garamond (Adobe's version), and Janson.
