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.

I got a bit off track last week with the daily prompts (just busy with life), but getting back to it starting today!
Mark Twain is one of my favorite authors, and while he is very much appreciated, this book is super underrated and not nearly as well known as his novels about Tom & Huck. This book is Twain‘s memoir of his years after Life on the Mississippi, when he traveled through the American West.
