| 4. |  | A Dog's Tale (1904) from Kessinger Publishing, LLC Price: $9.29 Customer Review: Though most famous for novels and non-fiction, Mark Twain is one of the all-time great short story writers. His shorts are indeed as essential as his other work. This magnificent collection is currently the most popular - not to mention the most comprehensive that can be easily found -, making it... |

| 5. |  | The Stolen White Elephant from Kessinger Publishing Price: $9.97 Customer Review: Mark Twain gave advice to a young man who wanted to be a writer: "When you catch an adjective, ill it. No, I don't mean that utterly, but kill the most of them - then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together, they give strength whenthe are wide apart. An adjective-habit,... |

| 6. |  | The Adventures of Tom Sawyer from Red and Black Publishers Price: $6.65 Customer Review: What a pleasure to be reintroduced to a childhood classic which contains insights for all of us. Twain really should be read every five years. Since his stories are always refreshing and illuminating one can enjoy them at any age. Some schools foolishinly no longer require this book so it is a... |

| 7. |  | The American Claimant from Kessinger Publishing Price: $14.64 Customer Review: Mark Twain's 1892 novel THE AMERICAN CLAIMANT is neither notably long nor notably short. It has the "middle-weight" (or at least middle length) feel of a Graham Greene novel. THE AMERICAN CLAIMANT's 25 chapters make it, however, too long to be called a novella. On the other hand, it also lacks the... |

| 8. |  | The 30,000 Dollar Bequest and Other Stories from Hard Press Price: $15.95 Customer Review: When I purchased this book, I was expecting a collection of short stories, and if that was all it was, I would have been most pleased. As is, this book contains a couple of very entertaining short stories, including the one mentioned in the title, along with a great ending about Adam and Eve, as... |

| 10. |  | In Defence of Harriet Shelley (Dodo Press) from Dodo Press Price: $4.42 Customer Review: This is Mark Twain's review of a then-popular book which (apparently) eulogized and excused Shelley's abandonment of his first wife, Harriett. It's a good example of Twain's critical writing, and in some ways of his moralizing, but not as sharply incisive as his better-known criticism; fans of... |

| 11. |  | Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven (EasyRead Comfort Edition) from ReadHowYouWant Price: $17.99 Customer Review:  I hadn't read anything by Mark Twain in years, so thought this little story would be fun to put on my new Kindle II. He's just not funny anymore, and his language is not acceptable... I can't imagine why I thought his stories were funny. |

| 12. |  | Tom Sawyer, Detective from CreateSpace Price: $8.99 Customer Review: Most people are familiar with Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but did you know that there were a couple of other sequels? One was Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894), and the other is this short novel in which Tom Sawyer attempts to solve a mysterious murder, as narrated by... |

| 16. | [no image] | A Tramp Abroad from Chatto & Windus Customer Review: I purchased the paperback version of the book. The binding is of exceedingly poor quality. The first pages fall out one by one as they are read. I expect the book itself to be very good. Don't buy the paperback. |

| 18. | [no image] | Innocents Abroad from GROSSET & DUNLAP Customer Review: This is a great book, but the Signet version is a disgrace to Twain's memory -- cheap paper, messy undersized print, and narrow margins all make reading it torture. Do yourself a favor and buy the Modern Library version instead: The Innocents Abroad: or, The New Pilgrims' Progress (Modern... |

| 21. |  | Letters From The Earth from EZreads Publications, LLC Price: $4.95 Customer Review: If all was right in the world, "Letters from the earth" would be widely circulated and openly discussed amongst all who undertake the practice of religion. As it stands though, treasures such as this are wasted on those of us who already concur with its message. |

| 22. |  | Some Rambling Notes of an Idle Excursion (Dodo Press) from Dodo Press Price: $7.08 Customer Review: This is exactly what it claims to be -- a collection of anecdotes Twain wrote down during a trip to Bermuda. A classic bit of Twain's non-fiction, it's also of some interest as a chronicle of what Bermuda was like in Twain's day. If you like this kind of thing, you might want to also try _Three... |

| 23. |  | 1601 (Webster's Spanish Thesaurus Edition) from ICON Group International, Inc. Price: $16.95 Customer Review: Here is a case where a free book isn't much of a bargain. It might even ben considered overpriced. Suffice it to say, I found this book unimpressive. The book begins with an overly detailed commentary about the book itself, which is more prolific than a few well written commentaries on... |

| 24. |  | The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain: A Book of Quotations (Dover Thrift Editions) from Dover Publications Price: $0.01 Customer Review: Such a mind our Samuel Clements had and still has! This sorta brief booklet focuses on the best for this educator to ponder! |

| 25. |  | Extracts from Adam's diary, translated from the original ms. from University of Michigan Library Price: $16.99 Customer Review: I love Mark Twain's take on religious stories. This diary of Adam tells Adam's feelings about all the things happening to him as the first man on the earth, particularly how he meets Eve and his troubles with her. It is short, and if you only have a short time to read something, this might be... |

| 26. |  | Life on The Mississippi from Signet Classics Price: $2.35 Customer Review: To me, this book seemed like several rather disjointed chunks of writing about Twain's Mississippi experience. I don't know what happened. Maybe he compiled all his scraps of material about this period and threw them together, not bothering with transitions or filling in gaps, or smoothing out the... |

| 28. |  | The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Barnes & Noble Classics) from Barnes & Noble Classics Price: $3.24 Customer Review: Little wonder that Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Becky Thatcher, Aunt Polly and Injun Joe have been elevated to the status of icons of American literature and culture. Who among us, as playful children, did not scramble over a fallen down tree pretending to be swashbuckling captains of an... |

This novel takes place in the late 1800's on the Mississippi river, with a young run away boy, Huckleberry Finn, and his runaway slave friend Jim. The... |

| 30. |  | Mark Twain's Helpful Hints for Good Living: A Handbook for the Damned Human Race from University of California Press Price: $11.69 Customer Review: First, it's Mark Twain - the very pseudonym a poke in the ribs - and it's full of essays on his views of life, letters to editors, milkmen and burglars. He never pokes fun at his family, much, but sees the world as a tiresome place in which to try to exist, and his fellowman as more tiresome still.... |

| 33. | [no image] | Roughing It from Buccaneer Books Price: $9.95 Customer Review: It is hard to remember the last fiction book I enjoyed this much. This book is the chuckles of an old-timer looking back on himself as a "newbie." Much of it is funny, pure funny, and the rest is wonderful to read. I relished it slowly, about a chapter at a time, and it took me the summer to... |

| 35. |  | Following the Equator: A Journey Around the World from BiblioLife Price: $20.16 Customer Review:  I kinda liked this book for awhile. Some strange humor and interesting to see what is was like to travel at the time of Twain. I thought it was a litte long and boring and though (only read 3/4 of it). Not very exciting and a lot of quotes from other esoteric sources. Also, he makes reference to... |

| 36. |  | Pudd'nhead Wilson (Bantam Classics) from Bantam Classics Price: $1.48 Customer Review:  An interesting premise for a book that fails in many ways. There is a very fascinating idea for a suspenseful, tragic and great novel in here but the author fails to build suspense in creating an obvious and inevitable plot. |

| 38. |  | Diaries of Adam and Eve (Oneworld Classics) from Oneworld Classics Price: $6.54 Customer Review: If you are not familiar with Mark Twain then some of his humour may be lost on you. This is the quintessence of Twain's humour, strong and gentle, reflective and musing on the human condition and those commonest of misunderstandings that occur between the genders. When I first heard of this... |

Complete irreligion was still... |
