I would have figured you'd have been all over his books. I've read them both for school, but there's reading for school and reading for pleasure so I will approach them differently this time. Also Twain's autobiography I would have thought would have been intriguing to a big reader like you.


Salinger is one i haven't read before but upon hearing how fucking brilliant he was I am certainly interested in reading his works.
I think that is the problem I had with getting round to Finn and Sawyer, I know that they were books that people read in school which kind of put me off, I don't know why it just kind of did.
I've never been one for autobiographies either, I've read a fair few but I prefer fiction 99% of the time.
As for Sallinger, Catcher in the Rye was really good but I think it is more for young adults but still one that should be read, I've never really heard anyone talk about his other stuff.

Saying that I was put off by Twain being school reading is strange considering I had to read 'of mice and men' in school and I loved it.
El Kabong had to read English classics and hated every page of it. His resentment is why he hates us English.
Come on now master, play nice.
thus thread is neutral ground, leave your petty squabbles at the door.

I expected better from you
