Answer 8

THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER by Mark Twain
THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN by Mark Twain

I have not finished HUCKLEBERRY, but TOM SAWYER was excellent. They are a bit hard to read without authors notes sometimes, though, and sometimes Mr. Twain forgets the names of his characters... only one instance I can think of... he calls Betsy "Bonnie" or some other name.

Moby Dick by Herman Mellvile

John Steinbeck --- Of Mice and Men
