Books

Two thoughts.

First, it's one of those books people don't actually read because they 'know' the story. Too bad, because it was Twain at his most sarcastic and biting. It's a great way to understand people of his time, by seeing what they found funny.

Second, it reminds me of the original novel 'The Princess Bride.' It's subtitled 'The Good Parts Version.' People have seen bits and pieces of King Arthur Court in comics and cartoons, the same way they've seen Don Quixote fighting windmills and Gulliver tied up by little people.
