Samuel Clemens

"I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened. " - Mark Twain

I'm a day late on this, but did you know that yesterday was the day that Samuel Clemens, also known as Mark Twain, authorized the publication of his uncensored autobiography?  Mr. Clemens left behind 5,000 pages of unedited writings, including a 400 page addendum which, by all acounts is a long, ugly rant.  This three volume series will be released over the next five years.  From what I've read, we must be prepared for scandal, politics, religion and sex.

It has all the makings of a best seller.

While I'm waiting for the first volume to be published, I think I'll revisit Tom and Becky.  Or maybe Huck.
