It is now proved beyond doubt that smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.

Did. As a kid. Read it to my kids when they were small (bedtime)
Picked HuckFinn as my handle cause I'd just finished Twains autobiography.
Not recommended...mostly

Drafters memory is impressive and so much better than mine.
I think she shared something with me that I had never heard.

Sad thing is, I don’t remember what it was.

Oh well, it was prob fake news.

The autobiography hooked me right away, but lost me pretty soon. Clemens had a really great sense of humour. Lol stuff. His personal thoughts, memories and feelings about his young daughter dying suddenly of cholera hit home for me personally, unfortunately. Touching. Remarkably resilient dude. And his deep admiration for General Grant who he helped save financially was interesting to read about. But mostly there's too much everyday minutIa.
Also the fact that he was raised around the time of slavery and his attitude regarding race was disappointing. Prejudiced at best.
He intentionally skips around his life, ancestry, present, future so it's easy to read a few pages and put the book down. I like short chapters.
Still, it's around 600 pages. Urg.
