Sharon Crockett on Nostr: I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve never read Mark Twain’s “Adventures of ...
I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve never read Mark Twain’s “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”. So, I’m finally reading it, as a prelude to reading the new novel, “James”, by Percival Everett, which has the enslaved character, “Jim”, from the Twain book as its protagonist. I haven’t felt this excited about reading two books back- to-back in a really, really long time. #books #reading #marktwain #huckfinn
