<p>If you had to chose the great american novel, which one would you pick?</p>
<p>I’d say mark twain’s huckleberry finn, i just read it in english and it’s amazing!</p>
<p>The one in my mind, silly.</p>
<p>I sincerely hope that no one says anything about Hemingway.</p>
<p>^gasp you don’t have 1337 posts anymore</p>
<p>The old man and the sea =D</p>
<p>The Old Man and the Sea isn’t that bad. I liked it. But it’s really overrated. Hemingway is overrated. The Sun Also Rises is horrible.</p>
<p>Pet Sematary… definitely.</p>
<p>I havent read much, but I like the great gatsby</p>
<p>Oh goodness, oh The Great Gatsby. The American Dream, the brokenness of decadence…beautifully written.</p>
<p>I don’t know if that’s my vote but I reeeeally like it.</p>
<p>Catch 22 FTW</p>
<p>Ha, you beat me to it, Tritium.</p>
<p>I also loved the Great Gatsby, though. It might represent America better, seeing as Catch-22 isn’t strictly an American novel, if you know what I mean. It’s more universal in its observations.</p>
<p>Gone with the Wind</p>
<p>Ulysses, i dont know if it’s American though :(</p>
<p>^hahaha, it isn’t even in english</p>
<p>Well, I read it in English and it was amazing…so HA!</p>
<p>Great Gatsby, Scarlet Letter, Huck Finn</p>
<p>Ulysses is most definitely in English written by an Irish writer.</p>
<p>Generally, speaking as an English professor, Moby Dick is regarded as the great American novel.</p>
<p>The Great Gatsby and Huckleberry Finn are also top contenders.</p>
<p>I would include Toni Morrison’s Beloved. Won the Nobel Prize and is an amazing novel about a strictly American experience.</p>
<p>The Scarlet Letter was bleechh.</p>
