The Big Read--2013
Welcome one and all to the very official, very free, Big Read 2013 blog. As you can gather from this post, Mark Twain is this year's author and the book is . . . The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Post your comments and questions on Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and his other writings, and Twain's life and times here.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. of course you've read it. Of course all you can remember about it is Tom tricking his friends into painting that long fence on a fine Saturday morning. If so, it's time to read this classic again. A second reading of a classic can be an eye-opening experience, a very different novel is likely to unfold. If you haven't read this book, well, it's time, past time, to do so. (Take it from the Quotes of Twain, see #8 and #16 and then enjoy.)
GO HERE for the Programs and Events being held in conjunction with The Big Read in February and March 2013.
