All of Twain's stuff is great aerocontrols Send a noteboard - 13/06/2011 02:27:55 AM
I'm quite concerned that you may not have read "Huck Finn", or perhaps nothing at all by Mark Twain.

That would be a shame on an epic scale.


I read both when I was a child. I haven't read them since. Which means I have not read them in English, which is a shame, I suppose.

Edit: by "both" I mean Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.


He may be the most quotable person, ever.

Actually, that would be a good Quickpoll question, if I could think of a few people who are in his league.
Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

Don't you think that, you know, too many people have read it already? - 23/05/2011 09:55:52 PM 1850 Views
Does that disqualify it? - 24/05/2011 01:49:54 PM 1785 Views
I don't know, if a lot of people want to have this book in a Book Club, I have no objections. - 24/05/2011 07:01:38 PM 1805 Views
Well, that's true. - 25/05/2011 01:20:54 PM 1896 Views

“Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father’s passin’.” *NM* - 23/05/2011 12:03:34 AM 952 Views
Indeed. *NM* - 23/05/2011 09:37:38 AM 934 Views

Um, there's already a rfilm version of this. - 23/05/2011 01:11:36 PM 1666 Views
Suspect he knows that. *NM* - 23/05/2011 01:15:46 PM 955 Views
I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't like this book. *NM* - 23/05/2011 09:37:52 AM 940 Views
So it survives being taught in school? - 23/05/2011 09:39:18 AM 1782 Views
Yup. *NM* - 23/05/2011 02:47:17 PM 948 Views

Let me ask the politically incorrect questions, since no one else has. - 24/05/2011 03:14:50 AM 2003 Views
Hmm - 24/05/2011 10:22:50 AM 1890 Views
I think that's a fair point. - 24/05/2011 07:00:04 PM 1902 Views
Calpurnia is a stereotype too. - 24/05/2011 11:54:26 PM 1821 Views
The difference, at least in my recollection, is that Calpurnia is well-educated. - 25/05/2011 08:09:58 PM 1769 Views

I think there was at least once incident showing a racist black person - 24/05/2011 07:33:09 PM 2050 Views
Almost a non-incident - 24/05/2011 08:51:59 PM 1686 Views
I think it was written to accomplish a goal and it did that very well - 25/05/2011 04:08:17 PM 1807 Views
Given your introductory portion - 11/06/2011 01:28:40 AM 1823 Views
