Anything by Mark Twain, if you're interested in the life and times of the US's greatest writer. You could start with "Huckleberry Finn" or "Life on the Mississippi" - both set in the mid-1800s.

I'll put it on my list, Fred. I'm working my way through a bucket-list of 'classics'. My latest was 'Jane Eyre' - which I enjoyed, to my surprise. A bit of a weepie, but at my age I don't mind the genre!

Life on the Mississippi is a good novel to read.

For those who haven't read it: it's not a novel, but a reminiscence of the author's career as a pilot on the river.
