I checked out Huckleberry Finn on audio last month at the library, but it was damaged so I had to give it up on the first disc. One of these days I'll get to him...

In fact, my husband and I were trying to discuss a book I read 3 weeks ago and I couldn't remember much about it! Time for the ginkgo, I guess!

I love Mark Twain but I have never read any of his short stories. I bet it’s a good ending, some kind of trickery involved. I love Mark Twain but I have never read any of his short stories.

Why, I can't tell you. Everyone raves about Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer and the stories, but there's something about them that I can't seem to connect with. You, however, wrote a wonderful review!
