Mark Twain - Timeless Book - As Important as Tom Sawyer & Huck Finn
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I love this book and use it often, especially when posting quotes on my Twitter profile. I am able to properly quote Twain, providing context and date of quote, thereby getting more read for each quote. The more I read this book, the more I realize the value of Twain's experience and his words. Although not schooled, Twain is by far one of the most educated personalities in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. His extensive travels around the world and around the US allowed him to come up with witty yet profound truths about people, life and nature, along with a plethora of other subjects, ranging from Alligators to Zeus... A great bed time book and wonderful reference companion.
