I read this before, pre-Bitcoin, and am now reading it again, post Bitcoin. This book probably helped pave the way for Bitcoin.

A dear friend from US sent me this lovely Mark Twain anthology.

That looks really good. I enjoy short stories more so the entire novels/books. I can only sit and focus for so long. I actually kept one of my college English books for that reason. Packed with great authors and short stories.

^ looks interesting. Also, it's been a while since I read the name Draper.

By the way, that Twain anthology I'm reading is pure gold. Give it a read, dkeg, if you like short stories.

Great! Thanks for the update! Think I'll check around for a good deal. Probably Amazon.
