best 200 American novels of all time

Most the Twain stories I read were in Polish and was long ago.

I find it a shame that Twain is being censored. Moreover, don't find offence in words like nigger or negro, especially, in the context authors like Twain and Conrad use them. Perhaps it is because in Polish the tone if often more important than the words used.

Quite the contrary, I find modern terms like African American offensive.

Conrad's first language was actually Polish, I think...wasn't it?
 
He was indeed Polish.

Not sure if he ever wrote books in Polish. Highly doubt it for the language was highly discriminated against by the victorious empires. Austria was most lax in that regard.
 
15, would be 16 if they didn't make the mistake of excluding A Confederacy of Dunces.
