Mark Twain's Autobiography Hits Shelves After 100 Years ... ?

 So, Mark Twain's autobiography will be published mid-November. The clever chap banned its publishing until 100 years after his death. Genius. Am I excited? Oh, yes.

And yet ... I'm a little bummed. My papa (my favorite grandparent and the smartest person I've ever known) was a Mark Twain know-it-all. A bit of interesting trivia: he was also a very accomplished Mark Twain impersonator. I know - I've got super-cool relatives. So with the publication of the autobiography, I really miss my pop and wish he were here to read it. But I'll read it in his honor and think of him the whole way through.
