The Great American Novel

                                 
                                  

Pence says the honor belongs to Miss Stowe's classic tale, written a decade before the Civil War.

Mr. Lynch, being a big fan of military histories, writes "if I had to pick out one favorite novel I'd have to opt for The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara."
                                                                 

            

To me, it has to be one of these three: Moby-Dick, Huck Finn, or The Great Gatsby.
