And the next selection is...

Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I chose this book simply because I wanted a less challenging read. I'm curious if I will receive what I am looking for. This novel was originally published in 1884. I am reading a version adapted by Ollie Depew a professor of English at Southern Oregon College of Education, published by J. J. Little & Ives Co., Inc. in 1951. I've never read any Twain so I am anxious to see just what all the fuss is about. I am hopeful that this read will provide me with the entertainment I am looking for right now. I feel that my last choice, Brave New World, was a little to heady and that I was not able to read it with the keen eye with which I wanted to read it. Therefore, Brave New World is officially on the "re-read when possible" list, along with many other titles. For now, I enter the world of Huckleberry Finn and will report back shortly with my musings.
