It really is just the dialect that bothers me with Huck Finn. Tom Sawyer has some good moments, but I'm with you about him needing a good smack -- or at least a long time-out.
I read so much literature (and drek) in my teens. I also re-read quite a bit. I liked Little Women more when I was younger, for instance, than I did upon re-reading.
I have to say, Crusoe has its issues (and I adore Moll Flanders), but first English language novel makes it important enough to include for me.
