Yes, yes, yes!

Personally, I believe Connecticut Yankee, although hardly neglected,
falls to get the acclaim and attention it deserves -- and should be one
of the first works Twainians recommend to the general public.

Every American high school or college student has Huck Finn drilled into
him, in part relating to its relevance to American race relations -- yet
few students nowadays are exposed to Connecticut Yankee, which IMO is
Twain's most overtly political novel -- and its critiques of the
economic ruling class and the established church are very relevant to
today's world.   And its dark ending makes it even a richer experience.
