They are all good, even Poodle Springs. But I guess if you are electing the “greatest” you would go with his more ambitious semi-literary works like TLG or TBS.

Haven't read the long goodbye yet. Of those I've read, I would probably rank them:

Farewell My Lovely

The Big Sleep

The Lady in the Lake

The High Window

The Little Sister (easily the weakest, kind of a mess)

Moby Dick is excellent, but it doesn't really go into race in a serious way, so it is out.

The Great Gatsby is too white.

The answer is Light in August.

There is a serious school of thought in literature that any book not about marriage is not really serious literature. Race and war and growing up are easy. A compelling marriage story is hard. Whole legions of English professors would disqualify Twain for this reason alone. Writing about boys is too easy.

Most classic American novels don't do it for me, honestly. Don't care for Faulkner, Hemingway, or Fitzgerald. Twain is fine but not my favorite.

contenders after moby dick:

augie march is 1800000 but i think not many people actually read it.

east of eden is incredible, way better than grapes of wrath.

hemingway is great too. i think For Whom The Bell Tolls is his goat but i wouldn't argue if people preferred farewell to arms or sun also rises.

faulkner, i prefer absalom absalom over his other stuff.

EDIT: huck finn is great obviously. given my list, augie march wouldn't make my top 5 unfortunately.

Absolom is the goatus book imo but its pretty provincial and the incest theme isn't American.

East of Eden is a great choice for an "American" book as not many countries emphasize freewill like this one does

agreed.

as great as faulkner is, he really relies on that TWIST--INCEST or TWIST--BLACK quite a bit

Cat’s Cradle by Vonnegut was a fantastic and genuinely fun read. It popped into my head because I read it not too long ago although I’m sure there are other major contenders I’m forgetting.

I took a longgg break from reading fiction (like years) with the exception of works of fiction I read while studying history. I’m just getting back into fiction now and I’m kicking myself for staying away from it for so long and have been reminded why I was a book addict when I was a kid.

I love Faulkner but not sure he writes American novels.

Hawthorne was a true American. The Scarlet Letter teaches you a lot about this country

not sure i agree with that. boring maybe, but chick lit? you're probably confusing it with something else.

bizarre take. it's a 180 depiction of an xo poa navigating big city life. could just as easily be in any major american city

if you think this, you don't actually get the novel. not trying to be rude here as this is not your fault.
