I like Twain...just not Tom Sawyer. My favorite books are Life On the Mississippi and Joan of Arc - I remember being fascinated by both reading them outside of class in High School. There are still several major Twain novels I need to read though - I remember being underwhelmed by the collection Letters From the Earth though.

Regarding Camus...I'll probably revisit someday but I found The Stranger tedious also despite being a Cure fan One of my favorite plays is No Exit by Sartre though.
