Autobiography of Mark Twain: The Complete and Authoritative Edition, Volume 1

Autobiography of Mark Twain: The Complete and Authoritative Edition, Volume 1 | Mark Twain

A bit of work to get through, but worth it for Twain fan
2 days ago

I love Mark Twain, and I was very excited to read his autobiograph, after a wait of 100 years! And while I enjoyed hearing Twain's own take on his life and times, the book isn't a fast or easy read by any means. The style of writing was very different in Twain's time, and so there's plenty of references to things that we don't necessarily understand. This necessitates a huge "Notes" section so you have to flip back-and-forth constantly to clarify various things Twain talks about, i.e. curren… read review

20-somethings and younger - Question for you

2 years ago

A discussion on a blog I follow included a comment that "younger people" rarely read books. By books the person meant physical, paper and ink books, as opposed toelectronic versions such as e-books, Kindle, iTunes, or iPad versions.

Since there are lots of you out here, I would love to get you to weigh in. Please answer the poll question if you are younger than 29.

Thanks! view post

    I'm looking forward to the next Pendergast novel as well!

    Thanks for your kind words. You've written a lot of splendid reviews! When I get the time I'm going to have to go through your reviews and add the items you've given a good review of to my shelf.

    Have a good evening!

    Hi Krisrid!

    Thanks for noticing. I'm really flattered that I was given the tag. You flatter me! I've always been a little shy about my book reviews and comments on books. I figured I was stating the obvious and that my opinions were bland.

    I see you’re a fan of FBI Special Agent Aloysius X. L. Pendergast too! He's fantastic, isn't he? He's got the whole package: unconventional good looks, mysterious family background, vast amounts of knowledge on every subject, a love of green tea, etc. =)

    From now on, I am going to review every book I read here on the site. I like reading reviews by other readers, so I'm going to write ones on all the books I read whether I like them or not.

    I'm always happy that on Fridays because weekends mean time to sit on the couch with my book for at least a few hours of uninterrupted enjoyment of whatever great story I'm reading this week!

    Krisrid says:

    Too many books, not enough time!! There are so many great books I want to read, but working for a living really cuts into my reading time. If I ever win the lottery, I'm taking a "reading" sabbatical.
