A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Read it again! It contains a lot of political commentary.

I read a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court when I was around 12. It was fun and fantastical, but perhaps I didn't absorb any deeper meaning because I was too young. I'm curious what makes it top your list?

I just finished reading the entire Harry Potter series of novels for the first time, as my third son was reading it for the second time. My daughter will finish the series soon. I also read selected parts of The Good Book: A Humanist Bible http://www.amazon.com/Good-Book-Humanist-Bible/dp/0802717373... (http://www.amazon.com/Good-Book-Humanist-Bible/dp/0802717373/) before I had to return it to the library yesterday. I especially like the section "Proverbs," which I read in full. I was able to find the section that quotes Confucius and Mencius extensively just before I returned the book. It's an interesting concept, but some parts of The Good Book: A Humanist Bible are extremely dull reading. I am likely to read Quotology http://www.amazon.com/Quotology-Stages-Willis-Goth-Regier/dp... (http://www.amazon.com/Quotology-Stages-Willis-Goth-Regier/dp/0803217528/) next, to learn more about how quotations are traced after being misattributed, a subject I own another book about. I agree with the OP that A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is well worth reading.
