Yesterday (or, actually, February 29th) marks the sesquicentennial of the
publication of ROUGHING IT.

I shared some thoughts at MarkTwainStudies.com/StagecoachLife

Also, over the next two weeks, in partnership with an e-reading application
called Threadable, I will be hosting an asynchronous discussion of four of
my favorite chapters (from the Virginia City section).

Threadable is mobile-only. If you'd like to join, download the app on your
smartphone or table. In the Circles tab press the "Someone Invited Me"
button and enter the code 72469.

Hope you'll consider sharing your thoughts!
