Well damn. Who knew that this was going to be such a hard set to read?
If I have been trying to put myself to sleep at night with it, I have certainly been successful. *laughs* Trying to read a bit of this before I go to sleep for about three weeks now and my Kindle says I am 5% in. That's pretty awful for someone that likes to read as much as I do. Should have finished this already.
It isn't so much that the material is boring, but that the writing style of the thing just puts me to sleep. I guess. I know it isn't a race, but jeebus, I do expect things to move along, and this one? Well, it just isn't.
So I guess I'll put it aside for now as I've got several other books queued up to read. First of all the book I mentioned yesterday in this Needed to Switch It Up, The Cyberpunk Trilogy now has my attention. Getting through the first few chapters was quite diverting and left me wanting more. So there you have it.
Twain shall be put aside for now (seems almost un-American to say such) to be brought up later... Maybe.
An Aside.
Been slightly conflabulated on how to reference books when referencing them. Quick google search and...
And there are a couple different schools of thought at work... Meh. You can use quotes or italics. Or a couple other things as well.

Society was wholly different back then. So not only is he a snob, but seems quite the bigot as well.
Probably quite the enlightened gent for the time, but some of this is really hard to take.
There are many ways to reference books. You can use italics or some of the titular words in capitals or put the title in inverted commas. All are correct. It would only be if you were working for some publishing company or other sort of company where they have a house style where it would matter, but not here on lj as far as I know. I use all three at different times, just to be 'consistent'...NOT! You can also add author, and other details is you want, such as publisher, place of publication and year and ISBN number but none of these are necessary except maybe the author, depending on the context. You can put the author before or after your reference to the title of the book, or part thereof. Usually a quick google search will provide all the other details of the book you haven't provided. So, just decide for yourself what you want to do, and do it!
And it's a book. I'll likely pick it up again... Sometime.
Oh fuck it! Yeah, I am reading on my kindle.
