I re-read Sawyer and Huck a few years ago. They are a treat.

I enjoyed Tom Sawyer the most (especially as a kid), but I do reckon that Huck Finn is Twain’s masterpiece. I think it is the greatest piece of truly American literature.

It’s a shame that many schools and libraries have banned the book in favor of “To Kill a Mockingbird”, a fine book, but in every way inferior to Huck.

I agree with you. To Kill a Mockingbird is great, but Huck is better!
