Mason and Dixon was fucking amazing I can't say that it's the single greatest American book ever but it's certainly one of my favourite books

I was 14 when I read that. I was so fucking frustrated because I didn't fully understand the plot. I finished it and I haven't revisited it since. Shit was frustrating
