There’s nothing I could ever say about Huck Finn that a million people haven’t already said, so I’ll just say that Huck is a kind of universal character that can continue to be loved throughout time, probably because he could exist through so many time periods and he could exist today. Huck is every young outcast in history, the young wild cowboy in the late 1800s, the wandering hobo in the early 1900s, the white trash homeless kid wandering around and exposed to drugs and other fucked up shit today.
Also the chapter where Huck learns Jim has been sold for 40 dollars by the King and the Duke, where has his infamous ‘Alright then, I guess I’ll go to hell’ moment is just about the best thing I’ve ever read.
One of my favorite books of all time.

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.
