Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1 | 
pickI listened to the audio book which was approximately 25 hours long. It was read by Grover Gardner, who did a marvelous job of it. I enjoyed hearing about Twain‘s life in the 1800s. He told several amazing tales. He also shared many insights to human nature that I observe have not changed since his time on Earth. #audiomemoir
My next book looks like some heavy reading...as in this book literally weighs 4 lb... #heavyreading #nonfiction #marktwain
It's a gloomy, rainy day in Anchorage, and I'm also a little gloomy since my boyfriend is back to work for the next two weeks out of town. A trip to the used book store in my neighborhood is just what I needed to brighten my spirits. #TitleWaveBooks #shelfie
I had kind of forgotten about this Autobiography of Mark Twain that I just HAD TO HAVE then never read until I started pulling out my red books.

I got this #autobiography several years ago for Christmas or my birthday, I can't remember which. I'm sorry to say that I haven't started it yet. This is just Volume 1 and it's over 700 pages long. This will probably be a #slowread as well! #ReadJanuary
My wacky purchase of the day... a coat of arms. Now I know what your thinking... Dang, lucky... or not.
"The coat of arms of the human race ought to consist of a man with an axe on his shoulder proceeding toward the grindstone. Or, it ought to represent the several members of the human race holding out the hat to each other. For we are all beggars. Each in his own way." M. Twain
This is my very official tofu press. Isn't it fancy?
Reading these is no small feat! I'm not gonna lie, I didn't read every page. Just tidbits here and there while I cruised down the Mississippi on the American Queen. Twain insisted these were published 100 years after his death with a requirement of no editing! So he goes on some ornery diatribes.
