Hello List,

My latest "Mark Twain” audiobook is now available from Archive.org <http://archive.org/>

This Mark Twain Memoir by Elizabeth Wallace paints an idyllic portrait of his time in Bermuda, not long before his death in 1910. Wallace and Twain met in Bermuda in 1908, became fast friends, and shared time together on the island and regular correspondence until 6 weeks before Twain's death. According to one academician, "Wallace’s deep affection for Twain is evident in her writings, so she also may have wished to burnish his legacy. As a result, Happy Island is a popular treatment in a breezy, occasionally sentimental style. It portrays Twain as a fun and caring friend but only hints at weightier matters.”

It’s a friendly, warm “read”/“listen”.

It’s available (for free) HERE <https://archive.org/details/mark_twain_happy_island_2009_librivox>.

 The distance between individual
 stars is so huge that it is possible
 for one galaxy to slip through
 another galaxy without a collision
 between any of the billions of stars
 involved. 

 And you're worried about returning
 a late library book?
