“That’s just the way: a person does a low-down thing, and then he don’t want to take no consequences of it. Thinks as long as he can hide it, it ain’t no disgrace.”
― Mark Twain

I have been waiting for this #PercivalEverett book to be released. Can't think of anyone better suited to redo #HuckFinn. Heading over to #Vroman's, my #IndependentBookstore, today!

Cannot wait to read this! Hard to think of another contemporary writer better suited to rewrite, rethink, reframe #HuckFinn.

@Teri_Kanefield We need to plant the idea in the #HardcoreExtremists heads that #SpeakerJeffries will offer them the opportunity to blame their utter failure to lead on Democrats.

#HuckFinn the #TreasonCaucus

Saw someone quote one of my favorite quotes from literature, specifically Huck Finn: “All right, then, I'll go to hell.”
Huck decides to risk hellfire itself in order to save Jim, he stands up to God (or his perception of God) and says, "No, you are asking me to do something wrong and I defy you." It is powerful stuff.

And then Tom Sawyer shows up at the end, and Tom treats it all as a game, and he PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH. And now that I think about it, isn't he such a great representation of the "just asking questions" crowd, who want to debate the existence of minorities as if it were a school exercise?

Everything’s so awful reg’lar a body can’t stand it…

If you’ll try this thing just a while longer you’ll come to like it

Like it! Yes—the way I’d like a hot stove if I was to set on it long enough. No, Tom, I won’t be rich, & I won’t live in them cussed smothery houses. I like the woods & the river & hogsheads & I’ll stick to ’em, too
