Is Huck Finn read aloud intended to produce laughter alone? And would laughter from an audience be a fitting reaction at every place where one smiles while reading it? I for one can think of lots of places in Huck Finn where I would smile to myself while reading it, but would be blushing inwardly. Anyway, invoking laughter was not mentioned by Ryota Iijima in the original request. Milind Khadilkar
