Much appreciated. I believe when I reach a point where I'll learn a man the river, I'll do as my captain has done to me and have them read this book. It makes you thankful for all the navigational aids we have today.
No better a man could have been found to read this book! How wonderful! How fantastic! How fabulous you are, my friend! I am so grateful to you for choosing to, and volunteering to read this intriguing story to us. You made it very exciting and most difficult to do anything but focus on your phenomenal story - telling! God bless you!
I read Huckleberyy Finn around the age of 10 back in to my bedroom in Manchester UK. To my shame 50 years have gone by without tuching any more of Twain's work. Your narration is brilliant and brings this story from who I now realise is a literary giant to life. Thanks
Trust Mr. airgun...you must read "Roughing It"!!!!! You must!!! Vatch de vatch!!! You muuuuust read it!!!!! Relax ...close your eyes...imagine a hilarious and educational experience!!!! Ok maybe I'm overdoing it a bit ..
The Narrator's voice has ADDED to my EXPERIENCE of this read of the "JOURNAL" . Twice read, now own with "all" txt & sketches. And I see it even better than My own reading📜 Thanks LibriVox👍🏾
One of his attributes that I admire is his healthy distrust of "experts"! Groucho wrote and sang a song with the line "whatever it is, I'm against it"!!!!
Timeless!!! Will only grow more interesting as long as there are readers!! Or listeners!!! Don't like to say this...but it could make an awesome flik!!!
This made me wonder for the first time about the excitement if the continent had been settled west to east. The Mississippi would have opened the Atlantic to them
Am I the only one who didn’t know that Samuel Langhorne Clemens took his pen name from the steamboat lingo heard herein? As in the ledding call-out: half-twain, quarter-twain, mark-twain.
Hi Maxx. Many of us knew. But we all discovered that at different times👍 I always like when I learn something new that apparently everyone discovered before me🙂
Hardly!!! You are probably young!!! It's not really important!!! What is important is that you are entertained by one of the greatest writers of the English speaking world!! Lucky you...lucky me! He was also an honorable man!! Check out some biography!!!!!
Whenever the mind wonders, I have to remind myself I’m not listening to A Confederacy of Dunces. One of my favourite books, and now I think I know where JKT got some inspiration for his masterpiece

Tom Sawyer is worth listening to as well.
Twain is one of America’s greatest treasures. Glad to hear someone from outside appreciates him, too!

If I were to meet mister twain I would have to apologize and tell him that john sounds more like him than he does.
The part about the debtor and the debtee is hilarious.

"I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know." Classic Twain understatement.

Yes you probably are.

Up until I had read this for the first time a few years ago, I had also been unawares of that fact
Mark Twain is two fathoms- as in, to fathom.....deep

He was also an honorable man!! Check out some biography!!!!!
A Prodigious proclamation!
Here because of Dane Calloway!!!
I have never actually read this. Huckleberry Finn...
Tom Sawyer yes. Some others when I was young!
Wooooow! What a splendid gift!!! Thank you

Is this the actor Daniel von Bargen?
do you mean narrating? it's John Greenman.
Pretty good story
A bunch of hollow words just to say: ''It has a lot of water". 😅😅
Don't like John . Great story
Re
Not a bad book but there is a serious lack of transgender representation in it. Twain was obviously transphobic.😠 Do better 😤
...?
Hardly. There are many men dressed as women in Twain novels. This is non-fiction.
Mississippi is a genderless one
