This thread feels incomplete without this Mark Twain quote:
"Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot."
I was expecting someone to mention his stance against modern tech and ebooks. But I like it better this way, this is a good memorial and nostalgia thread, fit for an author whose writing style was very nostalgic.
I tried to buy a book of his on my Kindle yesterday. It wasn't there. So I guess I'll be going to the library instead. I think that's what he would have preferred anyhow.
