Well, I finished Letters From the Earth, and it just reminds me how much I miss adept literary luminaries like Mark Twain. We've had humorists since, who have been exemplary (such as Wil Rogers), but Twain was one of a kind, I think.

Anyhoo, continuing on through the much neglected "Classics" section of my Kindle library, I've just started on Essays and Lectures by Oscar Wilde.

I'm currently reading Letters From the Earth by Mark Twain. Every time I read this book, it reminds me of how brilliant Twain was, and how prescient he could be regarding not only society's development, but how often we would fail to learn our lessons only to repeat them again.

I forgot to comment earlier; this is one of my all-time favorite books. I read it in high school and it made a big impact on me.

Finished the third Colossus novel last night.

This one, at least, had some comments on the frequent use of alcohol in the trilogy.

BTW: Should you ever want to read Colossus; don't bother with the second and third novel.
