Huckleberry Finn

"All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn, It's the best book we've had. All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before.”

-Ernest Hemingway

Huckleberry Finn is an American classic.It is a shame that many people only read this important novel early in life and never get back to it. I I have recently reread this novel for the third time, each time I read it more meaning pours from the pages.Ezra Pound once said, “Men do not understand books until they have a certain amount of life, or at any rate no man understands a deep book, until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents.”I whole heartily agree with this statement and it certainly applies in this case.
