I think that the writings of Mark Twain, in particular, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer should be mandatory reading in school.

When I was in school, we were made to read Shakespeare. Now that made me feel mighty uncomfortable! But I was made to read it nevertheless.

My grandma read me Huck Finn, just after Tom Sawyer. Second grade, I think.

Then I was required to read Huck Finn in the 7th grade, in 9th grade, in 11th grade, and twice in college.

"What happened to Tom Sawyer," I asked?

"Nevermind."
