I had the dubious honor of defending my choice to teach that particular book before a school board about eight years ago after a student protested the use of the word, "nigger" and alleged that the book was racist. It was fun to deconstruct that complaint using Twain's own words regarding the ignorance of most critics.

I'm reading.... oh wait. Read? Don't be silly. I don't do that shit.

Like... there was some chance I was going to read something... but now? After watching all you nerds post books? I don't think I can stomach it.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I just finished "The Willows" by Algernon Blackwood. I've started "Superfreakonomics" (the sequel to "Freakonomics," which was a very nice read), "Delicious Dating" (for sillies) and tonight I plan to settle in with "The Great God Pan." And I also found "Wuthering Heights, the Wild and Wanton Edition" just for shits and giggles. Big Grin

Btw, "Denialism" was amazing - anyone classifying themselves as a skeptic, and probably most atheists as well, would enjoy it.
