Huck was a pretty cool cat.

I reread Huckleberry Finn after reading James. First and foremost, it was utterly shocking to hear the n-word dropped as much as a person with a cold drops dirty tissues. More generally, the portrayal of Black people was tired. Honestly, I'm not super interested in reading/rereading classics for that very reason. That said, there were parts that were hilarious and I am glad I read it alongside James. Made me appreciate James even more.

Not only extremely racist, but simply a boring and bizarre story. Extremely hard to pay attention

A work of classic fiction by none other than Mark Twain. A tale of action and adventure, it tells the story of Huck Finn, lovable rapscallion who aims to live a life free of being civilized, and help his friend and former slave Jim. Through one adventure after the next, he fakes his own death, finds a Duke and a King, and escapes from a shipwreck. It’s a tale like no other!

Read this for a book club and pretty much feel completely indifferent towards it but Huck Finn saying he'd rather go to hell than let Jim go back into slavery was kind of based. I'll probably give James a try because it'll likely be more my speed and I'm curious what Percival Everett will do with it.
