37. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain
Signet Classics, 215 pages, 1876

I decided to read this because after finishing Huck Finn I wanted to hang out with Mark Twain and his wonderful narrative voice for just a little longer, and it was already on my shelf. Mark Twain (like Haruki Murakami) is one of those authors who could write about anything and still have my interest. I kind of wish I had read it before Huck Finn, just for the extra insights into Huck's character, which were really all I got out of this. I wish I had more to say about it but being unable to finish this post is keeping me from posting about other books that I have LOTS to say about, so up this goes.
