Huckleberry Finn was a decent book but I honestly find most of what I read by or about Twain/Clemmons overblown and tiresome. For a “humorist”, he’s just not that funny, at least by today’s standards. He’s got the curmudgeon bit down, that’s for sure, but it’s gets pretty old pretty fast. I really think it’s yet another case of the reality not living up to the hype. I’m sure I’ll get flamed, but OK, flame away.

I have to disagree, in today's world, he would seem boring, but back in the day, this was good clean fun reading, now and days, the funny jokes are full of trashy talk, and smut reading, that i can tell.

I like his essays better than his fiction, and his short stories more than his novels myself.
