A boy and a man escaping slavery float down the Mississippi, and a comic sequel turns into the argument at the centre of American literature. Huck decides he would rather go to hell than turn Jim in — the most important sentence in the book, and Huck barely notices he has said it.
Pick a finish date and Genius lays out the days — the plan shows today's target and keeps you honest.
Start a circle and share the code — everyone sees everyone's honest place in the book. Accountability, not leaderboards.
- Anyone who read Tom Sawyer and stopped there - Readers who want the American vernacular at its source - Anyone willing to sit with a book that argues with its own century
