Huckleberry Finn

My weekend reading.

Re-reading the Mark Twain as prep for Percival Everett‘s James.
The Àlvaro Enrigue is a #CampLitsy24 longlister.
The Tochi Onyenuchi is this month‘s #LitsySciFiBookClub pick.

Megabooks I‘m starting the Twain tomorrow. Haven‘t read it since middle school! 4mo

Ruthiella @Megabooks I‘m finding it rough going. I wish I had opted for audio. I think I must‘ve read an abridged and sanitized version before. 4mo

Megabooks Ooo! Maybe I‘ll check into audio. Thanks for the tip. 4mo

I went to see The Jim Irsay Exhibit in LA last night. He‘s the Colt‘s owner but his passion is collecting pop culture & American artifacts (especially classic rock items). Here‘s his small collection of books! There‘s a concert at the end with some famous classic rock musicians. The exhibit travels, is free, & I would definitely recommend looking into as the American history section in particular was amazing.

Lord knows I struggle with Percival Everett's work, but I am into this idea: https://lithub.com/percival-everett-is-rewriting-huckleberry-finn-from-jims-pers...

BarbaraBB That is a great idea. But I am biased because I love his books 😉 2y

I actually liked this a lot more than Tom Sawyer. One of the best children's classics IMO!

Vansa Oh same here. Definitely liked this better than Tom Sawyer. 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Agreed! 4y

#songsofsummer #sittinonthedockofthebay @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620 Although I prefer Tom Sawyer, for some reason Huck Finn came to my mind for this prompt. I‘m sure he fished off a few docks before getting on that raft. The picture in the corner is of my cat - named Huckleberry Finn - less than impressed that the dog is getting pet! #catsoflitsy

OriginalCyn620 The cat‘s face! 🤣 so cute! 5y

BooknerdsLife Hahaaa love the face on your cat! 😳🤣🤣 5y

#Gimmeshelter made me think of Huck and Jim, travelling down the river. Then it made me think the point of their journey is to get away from shelter. Then I wondered if what they knew could be called shelter. Then I thought I should re-read Huck Finn since now I'm not sure if I've ever read it. So many thoughts! 🤔
Sorry to make you read them @Cinfhen @rohit-sawant 😆
@maymoviemagic
