The creator of Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn and some of the most frequently misquoted catchphrases in the English language left behind 5,000 unedited pages of memoirs when he died in 1910, together with handwritten notes saying that he did not want them to hit bookshops for at least a century. The manuscript is in a vault in Berkeley California. While all the brain dead americans wait online for ipads and Iphones (no offense to my sponsor) I will be waiting at the bookstore to get the earliest possible copy come November. The reason we are doomed is that the lines should be around the block for this, people should be camping out for this, not for an electronic toy. I am a huge Twain fan, you may think you are a twain fan but you are not as big a fan as I am. Dont even think that you are.
