Mark Twain had a mouth on him, no doubt about it – and that is why it is still so much fun to read the man’s writing today. But even Twain knew that the world was not quite ready for the unexpurgated version of his thoughts that comprises the first two volumes (a third volume is yet to follow) of his autobiography, so he stipulated that the complete biography was not to be published until 100 years after his death – which occurred on April 21, 1910.

Caution: This book is daunting! It is not what you might think. Reading this book is almost like challenging yourself to scale El Capitan--you need to have a strategy about it. I did not. Not at first.
If you tackle it head on, good luck. You're going to end up how most of us end up when we challenge ourselves to read The Bible cover to cover as a New Years resolution--quit by the 3rd week in Janurary. So...where to start?

Mark Twain just may be the funniest guy that ever lived. He's mostly known for Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, but those are probably my least favorite of his writings. Imagine what you could say about your life, if you knew no one would see what you wrote, until everyone in the book was dead. You wouldn't have to run the risk of getting sued or offending anyone. You could just have your say and be done with it. Now imagine that you could say it with that unique turn of phrase perfected by Mark Twain.
