Mark Twain is releasing a new book 100 years after his death! I saw the article pasted below on CTV.ca, and have decided that this is a must-have for my library. Stayed tuned for a future book blog. =D
"It was in the news todayNEW YORK — It's never too late: Mark Twain is back on the bestseller lists.
Pre-orders for the first of three planned volumes of his autobiography, released in full upon the centennial of Twain's death, have for the past few days placed the book in the top five of Barnes & Noble.com and Amazon.com. It is outpacing new works by Ken Follett, John Grisham and Jon Stewart.
"The Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1" comes out Nov. 15 from the University of California Press.
Excerpts have appeared over the past several decades, but Twain's strong opinions on current affairs and other matters were left out, at his request. He had said that it was best to wait 100 year after his death for the whole book to be released."
