Blogging at its very, very best. After several attempts at writing his memoir, Twain finally engaged in a project that more accurately captured his life, times, and thoughts. I tried to listen to this book in audio format and it failed miserably simply because I couldn't flip back and forth at leisure, jumping through stories and getting sidetracked in the same manner as one would if they were having a conversation. This book is definitely a conversation and will be enjoyed by most.
