Recommended Reading : Mark Twain


This week I listened to a compilation of short stories by famous authors: Mark Twain, Stephen Crane, Ambrose Bierce, and Jack London.  The stories they included were: Mark Twain’s "The One-Million Pound Bank Note," "A Visit to Niagara," and "A Mysterious Visit;" Stephen Crane’s "The Blue Hotel;" Ambrose Bierce’s "The Eyes of the Panther;" and Jack London’s "The Love of Life" and "To Build a Fire."
The stories were all well written and chosen because they are enjoyable to hear read aloud. I enjoyed the first 2 by Mark Twain, since they were both well written and funny.  The others were less funny, well-written, but sad.
