    Sadly, in many of the schools across the country, both books have been banned. :(

    Well ,I m know some people consider the book Huckleberry Finn to be racist. The N-word is used extensively throughout.

    I have read them both as a kid and as an adult. I am holding his autobiography in my avatar. He is one of my favorites.

    Not those, but I have a complete set of Twain that belonged to my mother and every once in a while I take a volume down and read it. Last was INNOCENTS ABROAD, and before that the two-volume JOAN OF ARC.
