pick☄️Prepping for a revisit to the town of Hannibal, MO.
Looking at some short stories to read this month.
panI read this because my nephew has to read it for American Lit in college, and he'd like me to look over his essay. Try as I might, I just don't enjoy reading Twain. I can't shake the feeling that he was his own biggest fan.
bailedMark Twain is hilarious - his dry wit is top notch. However, I enjoy his travel accounts, maybe not his fiction.
I read the titular story and didn‘t find it funny at all (I also didn‘t appreciate the way the animals were treated.) I skimmed the second story, The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg, as I wasn‘t enjoying it either. I guess the satire is the joke, but I miss his usual humorous, trenchant remarks. I gave the rest of the stories a miss.
It is really hard to take a square selfie with face and shirt in one 😂 So the shirt wins. I love this #outofprint Twain shirt. @Kimberlone knows that Twain love. Someday I want to be rich enough for us to golden girl it down the Mississippi in a steamboat #Twain #teachersoflitsy
Starting this one today on audio...I‘m using it for the book set across multiple continents for the Reading Around The World Challenge.
