well, I just did a low level, too many other challenges going on. what other books do you plan to read for this? The Innocents Abroad. I love Twain and hate him at the same time. He’s very very sarcastic in this book even more then in any other book I read by him, and I read a lot. But from time to time, you find in it a genuine note of admiration at what he sees. i’m slow at it, reading it as ebook. I’m glad I found your beautiful and original blog. I just posted a special post on Bastille Day a few mn ago, with 10 titles on France – I’m French, so I had too! LOL
