I suggest you start with A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court
Prince and the Pauper is a timeless classic cant skip that one
His short stories are good too, read whichever theyre all decent to good

Just read Huck Finn. It's his only good one.

Tom Sawyer is literally better

My personal favorite is his travelogue Innocents Abroad followed by various essays and speeches.

Is it? Or just the only one you've read?

Seconding. However, be aware there are some collections out there that have shoved all of his work, even the shitty stuff, into one book. If you want to read his short fiction or essays find a good collection, doesn't have to be "the complete works."

>American "literature"

Huck Finn is well-known to be babby's first exposure to the N-word. I always considered him to be an author for children.

for a class on american regionalism, we read his "scholarly" article, "The Private History of the Jumping Frog Story." it's about a story about a guy getting swindled into betting on a jumping frog that can't jump, or something. anyway, he traces it back to the greeks, in order to defend himself against the claim that, for adapting a publishing a story from folklore, he was plagiarizing. very interesting take on intellectual property, humor, storytelling, the function of literature in culture, etc.

Tom Sawyer is literally a children's book, Huck Finn isn't. Only retards can't look past the use of "nigger."

are you saying that most people falsely believe the word "nigger" characterizes a children's book?

>>8266418
He's right though. Tom Sawyer is a very simplistic book of adventures. It's just fun. You could read it to a 10 year-old and they'd get everything out of it that there is.

Huck Finn is a lot more interesting, mature, and complex.

Speaking like yoda isn't giving you any credibility.

>>8266422
No, I'm saying you can't get past the word "retard," because it's obviously personal.

>>8266437
he's not "right."
I said Tom Sawyer is a better novel. He replied that Tom Sawyer is "literally" a children's book, thereby implying that it's inherently worth less than ""literature for grownups,"" which is implicitly why he thinks Huck Finn is better.

Whereas we know that Huck Finn is objectively the worse novel because of the redundant and dull last part.

And arguably because Tom Sawyer is more universal. I don't give a shit about an orphan befriending a """"nigger"""" slave lmao, what a void-of-substance proto-SJW jerkfest book.

Dude, if you want to be identified, make a trip.

If you want everyone to be identified, go to another website.

Your memes are shit anyway.
