I read about 20 pages shortly after I came to LA. I did not find Mark Twain's humor which had amused me when I was a child. Either did I find it when I re-read some of his stories which I once enjoyed so much. Maybe it was because I could not appreciate the English language, or because I lost what I had as a child.About one year ago, I started to read this book again. Very glad that Mark Twain became alive in front of me again. His humor was back. The peaceful nights, raft drifting along the Mississippi river, dark blue sky, the remote lights, and broken voices in the breeze.
The book I started to read is in Barnes Noble classics series. ISBN 1566192943. It is one of the three books I bought in the time of Internet bubble when I received a free $20 BN gift certificate. I like the book cover. I finished the story with the Library of America edition "Mississippi Writings" since the BN edition was packed during my relocation.
