Got one chapter left on Jamrach, I should finish it today.

I liked Huck Finn a lot, I think I'll put that on my re-read list also (although I very rarely re-read books) - I last read that when I was a teenager, that would have been in the late 70's.

Just thought of another book that I would consider a 'greatest American novel' candidate - "A Prayer for Owen Meany" by John Irving - such a powerful book.
