Roughing It by Mark Twain

adventurous funny lighthearted medium-paced

4.5

i feel almost torn on this to give it 5 stars. it's not that good of a book, but mark twain is that good.  maybe its the stockholm's syndrome but after a few hundred pages i started to dread the end of this book because i got so used to reading a chapter or two a night and joining my friend mark (now on a first-name basis) for another adventure.  theres definitely parts that dont age so well, although i guess thats not so much of a surprise. but this is like one of your friends telling you about all the antics they got into on their latest trip. you listen fondly, treasuring the friendship, even if the stories dont end up mattering all that much. really made me wanna travel again, will definitely read The Innocents Abroad next
