There's certainly something magical about hearing Twain read aloud. "Mark Twain Tonight" seems to be doing well, and I would definitely vote for Hal Holbrook again. The courtship letters are a wonderful idea, and I would suggest including Bryant's as well. I would love to hear his "Adam and Eve Diaries" read out loud. Isn't there a CD-ROM possibility for including voice on a text disc? That might be an option that schools and universities would find appealing. Let's face it - there's always a market for Twain. And the texts are so rich that, like Shakespeare, the language breathes better out loud. Keep us posted! Beth
