How do you quote literature??
If I want to quote a line of text in Huckleberry Finn, is this the right way??
“Thinks I, this is what comes of my not thinking” (Twain 91).
or can i leave out the author’s last name?

If this is the only book you are using in your essay/composition/report then I think you could get away with just the page number. However, in standard MLA its required to put the author’s last name in parantheses.
