I'm roughly 1/3 through it. It's quite satisfying.

I am reading Mark Twain's review of James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales books.
It has a well-deserved reputation as being one of the funniest put-downs in the English language. I have never read anything by Cooper, but I hope for the sake of the Americans on this board that they did not have to read anything by him, either.

I did! But, to my great misfortune, I've also had to read anything by Mark Twain other than Huckleberry Finn. He's a seriously overrated author, and we've produced much better. But, seriously, JFC is awful.

I wouldn't know.
I haven't had many encounters with older American literature. The only things by Twain that I've actually read are his take-down of German language and the Cooper literary review.So: it's good to know that his stories might not be all they're cracked up to be.

I've been on a big Tolkien kick. I finished Fellowship of the Ring and started The Two Towers. I got The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales for my birthday a while ago so I have to work my way to those.

How much good 'Dune' series is?
I'm confused by reviews and wikipedia.
