I'm currently listening to an audiobook of roughing it but I also read Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. What implications does this board feel that Mark Twain has contributed to literature?
Personally I believe him to have painted a good picture of what it means to be american.

He definitely deserves the title of Father of American literature, even if his "children" surpassed him.

Really?
Also, /his/, I'll be breaking into kurt vonneget after I finish twains novels. Anyone have a good author that I could take a chance with? I feel I've been following this chain of what someone should read in his life but it's getting boring.

McCarthy is great. The Road seems like a good intro to him.
If you haven't, you MUST read Innocents Abroad, OP. It's Twain going on the grand tour with other Americans and writing about it. He mixes observations of Americans in Europe with his takes on history. It's probably my favorite.

Funny. Anyway this thread is alright enough. As long as the subject stays as the history of the American persona. We've had far worse on this board.
