gcalvin Wrote:The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is not only my favorite Twain book, but my favorite book generally. But my favorite writing of Twain's is his short essay called Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses. He mercilessly carves up the writing style of James Fenimore Cooper, especially his novel The Deerslayer. It's hilarious.

Gary, mine too. I wouldn't have known about it had I not taken the American Literature CLEP. LOL Of course, it made me want to read the Leatherstocking series Wink
