    Can you please review 'Letters From The Earth', by Mark Twain?

      I haven't read Mark Twain in a long while. Great idea!

    my brain randomly added the word
    "bullsh&tter"
    to the end of that descriptive list of character traits
    you were building.
    why....
    i know not.

    I just read this book, and am very glad to discover your video… I wish there was more accesible analysis/discussion about this.
    I wanted to add that I thought Gantry was a reactionary, an opportunist, highly suggestible…. AND a master of self-delusion and justification.
    Thanks again for posting your thoughts.

      ✔️ ding ding ding we have a winner! I just finished It Can’t Happen Here. Talk about reactionaries 😜 so many in that book!

    It’s been on my TBR for quite some time. I need to read it. I also need to get to It Can’t Happen Here, although it is depressing as well.

      Thanks for watching. It’s a really funny novel but it’s bleak how contemporary it is.
