I need help picking out a book to read for lit class. We get to choose out of 3:
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
The Scarlet Letter
or
The Great Gatsby
I'm not sure which one to pick yet... so far, the one that sounds most appealing to me is the Scarlet Letter, but people have told me it's really boring. I know people who have read The Great Gatsby already and supposedly it's really confusing. I don't really know anything about Huck Finn.
If anyone's read any of these, I'd really appreciate any insight you have on the books. If by any chance someone out there has read all 3, which one was the best one? Thanks in advance. :)

The Great Gatsby. It's a real quick, easy read. If there's something that confuses you, just get Cliff's Notes or Spark Notes. Those help understand some of the stuff that goes on.

The only one that I had to read was Huck Finn and it sucked. It's like Mark Twain had ADD moments throughout the whole novel or something. He couldn't stay on topic at all. So go with the other choices.

I loved Huck Finn. :eek: It has some great satire, and it's quite enjoyable.
