We read Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckelberry Finn in American Literature II class . . . and I enjoyed it. >_< Especially the ridiculously elaborate escape plan at the end. >_<

Ok, my soul feels cleansed and refreshed. Just needed to get that off my chest.

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. - Ursula K. LeGuin ~ The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas

Mark Twain was a brilliant writer and Huck Finn is an American classic. What's the problem?
Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

Its just waaaaaaay out of my usual reading genre preferences is all. I'm more of a fantasy/sci-fi guy. So its a little abnormal for me

Huck Finn is one of the worst books I've ever read.

edit: not that it's poorly written, I just hate southern literature with a passion. Huck Finn was not only not an exception to this, it EXEMPLIFIED what I don't like.
