Mark Twain

Mark Twain — 4 titles in the rankings, first published between 1876 and 1889. They average 7.7, below the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. One series has a reading order worth keeping to.

Editor’s note The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the most read, but its companion, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, rates highest: Huck and Jim, who has escaped slavery, travel down the Mississippi. It uses the racist language of its time, which is part of its argument and still debated. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court and The Prince and the Pauper show his satire.
