Mark twain mississippi5/30/2023 ![]() The Introduction to my Folio edition doesn’t fill the reader with optimism. I grabbed it earlier this month, figuring that I could fulfil my yen for non-fiction and mark off a classic author at the same time. ![]() This it is why Life on the Mississippi has been sitting on my TBR shelf that, and the fact that I found a Folio Society copy for a bargain. Occasionally, the grown-up in me will rear her annoying head and insist that I at least try a classic or two – who knows? I might like it, and I don’t have to finish it if I don’t. I know it’s contrary and based on no rational I just don’t like being told what to do and what to like. The bias is this: It is my perverse nature to avoid books and authors considered to be classics. It’s a bias that I have fought against a spare few times in my life, but by and large, it has ruled my reading life. ![]() I have to admit, here, to a bias a prejudice. ![]()
