Is it okay to read Hucklebery Finn anymore?

'Course not!

Nor is it okay to read The Nigger of the Narcissus by Joseph Conrad nor the brilliant short story by Flannery O'Connor, The Artifical Nigger.

Probably best to stop reading the classics. Period. For the children, ya know...

Jeez. It seems everyone is writing a book about the president these days.
