Alasandra's Book Club - The Bible According To Mark Twain
Book # 2 in the Winter Reading Challenge (No, I haven't read book #1 yet). This is a great book. It contains unpublished manuscripts, short stories that were published in magazines, and some unfinished manuscripts (how rude of Twain to die before finishing them). The editors also took the time to explain what was going on when Twain wrote the stories, attempted to explain why he wrote them, and why he choose not to publish some of them. With his usual flair Twain gives his views on Adam & Eve, The Flood, Heaven & Hell, as well as War.
