I am suggesting books that I have read and enjoyed before, albeit long ago, and could very easily stand a reread of them. I am trying not to appear lazy

. The first of those I am sure most others have read too and perhaps feel the same about it.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advent...ckleberry_Finn
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...ckleberry_Finn

I Heard the Owl Call My Name - Craven, Margaret
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Hear...l_Call_My_Name
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...l_Call_My_Name

At the Sign of the Cat and Racket - Honare de Balzac
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Mai...hat-qui-pelote
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Com%C3%A9die_humaine
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...eaux_The_Purse

I Heard the Owl Call My Name I was first introduced to by friends who emigrated from British Columbia to NZ. Apparently it was very popular in Canada and despite it being a bit of a "tear jerker" I am relying on its remaining in print for over 50 years as enough to give it some literary status.

At the Sign of the Cat and Racket is the first of the big collection of Balzac novels each depicting an element of French society following the fall of Napoleon.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; well, in my view, an American masterpiece.
