Look here, Sir, I will post where I like.

Red Badge is warm garbage. A story for boys who want to be soldiers, and not true to life at all. It is Homer without the ancient pedigree or skill.

This is not true at all. Like I said, never post here again.

It's a lovely, impressionistic masterpiece.

Call of the Wild and White Fang are my favorites.
A collected works of Poe (including poetry)
Moby Dick is great but not entry level.
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are very fun but not as /lit/ as others.

Lonesome Dove, Lolita, Gone with the Wind and Blood Meridian for 20th century imo

How are you able to fully understand the older English? I've tried reading some older American literature in high school, and that was a huge problem for me and keeping me engaged. It's been awhile since then, so it may not be a problem now, but that's why I'm mainly worried about. And when you say Moby Dick isn't entry level, what do you mean?
