A collection of enjoyable stories by Mark Twain. I have only previously read his most famous works, and that many years ago.
As the foreword alludes, these stories get darker as you go further into the collection. I enjoyed the lighter ones more but the darker ones did make me think.
Strangely, this book did not have an ISBN number in it.
Wacky. It's about people being abducted by aliens for mind control purposes, so basically all of the stereotypical stuff with a mild plot wrapped around it. A little cheesier than I expected.
A very nice read about Paul and Emily Keller traveling the Great Loop on their boat.
I was fortunate to be part of a guided tour of the Sail, Power, and Steam Museum in Rockland, ME that was guided by Captain Jim. Now about 6 months later I finished his book in one day.
Needless to say it is a great read if you love stories about boating.
I probably read this book back in middle school as I used to read a ton of Star Wars and Star Trek books back then. Anyways, now I have read it again.
I believe I read a while back that the new Star Wars movies have removed all of the Expanded Universe books from canon. So it was a little weird to be reading this book and be thinking all along that it isn't really "true." Of course it is fiction, but now it is like discarded fiction. Still a quick enjoyable read though.
A simple but extremely satisfying fantasy quick read.
This was a nice read about memories and memorization techniques. The story of the author is woven in pretty well and my interest was held throughout. He described the techniques used in a good amount of detail--enough to understand but not so specific as to get boring.
Overall I now know a little more about the topic and it was also an interesting story.
There once was a dog with a flaw
Who e'er kept a brew in her paw
She was not a witch
Just a basic bitch
Her favorite drink was White Claw
A nice collection of essays or short stories, pretty funny throughout. The last one about smoking drags on for a while but is still good.
