The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Obviously, school consumed my life more than I imagined these past few months, but the semester is finally officially over, freeing me up to read as much as I possibly can. I have been incredibly motivated to jump right back into my list of 100 greatest novels, starting with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Now as I said before, I cannot even begin to critique these books, but since I am going to be reading another 75 or so of them, I figured I'd share the experience.
This was a book that I had a little bit of trouble getting into. I actually started it a few months ago and ended up putting it away in favor of Night Road. I think that the main reason it was a little more difficult for me to get interested in was because I have never read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. A childhood of watching Jonathan Taylor Thomas in Tom and Huck helped me get past that.
What I absolutely loved about this book, and what I love about most of the books on this list, is the actual writing of it. The way that Mark Twain was able to write as an uneducated young boy, or a poor slave, was so impressive. The details that he describes, the scenes that he creates, and the adventures that he imagines made if very obvious why he became the great and memorable writer that he did.
The book is also made up of a series of shorter stories, which you could probably guess from "the adventures"of Huckleberry Finn. I didn't. These stories got me through the 334 page book faster, because I was able to finish one chapter or one story in a sitting.
Overall, I really did enjoy this book. There are some on this list that are killers. And I mean, bore-you-to-death kind of killers. Like The History of The Peloponnesian War or The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature. I can't say I'm exactly looking forward to those.
However, I fell in love with Gone With the Wind. I met Mr. Darcy and Boo Radley, and I am currently warming up to a slightly aggravating Madame Bovary.
I do recommend reading Huckleberry Finn. I recommend reading all the books on the list. Even the killers. Even when they are not as fun or easy to breeze through as Nicolas Sparks or 50 Shades, it is much more worthwhile in the end.
