The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (and much more) from the perspective of Jim. And after finishing this horrific and hilarious novel, it feels wrong to call him Jim. He's James.

Read Twain and follow it immediately with Everett. Fantastic literature. They complete one another in many ways, and I'm not sure I'll ever read one without the other again.

I see it won the National Book Award for fiction.  How necessary is reading Huckleberry Finn before?

Finally finished it. Both in the sense of long overdue and not being the speediest reader.

If you haven't read Huckleberry Finn in a while and don't remember a lot of the intricacies of the plot (I was amazed by how much of the story I had forgotten), then I strongly recommend rereading it prior to James. I say that only because my experience was much the richer for it. It's probably fine to not.
