Huckleberry Finn

I just received a leather bound edition of Huckleberry Finn. Its considered to be the greatest American classic. I am so eager to start flipping the pages but not yet. Incidentally I start reading a bit more about Mark Twain who is the author of the book, whose real name is Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Born in 1835, Mark Twain is considered to be the most famous literary figure lived in United States ever. Recently Time Magazine had run a cover story about him. His novels mostly revealed the frontier experiences along the Mississippi river. Never had a chance to read any of his novels before, I am hoping that this Novel will open the doors to an unknown vista for me…!!
