This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
This book is a wonderful compendium of quotes from Twain for all reasons and seasons, all cataloged and sorted. This would be a great resource for a writer looking for a perfect quotation; probably best savored a little at a time. ( )

A clever collection of quotes from Mark Twain, sorted into categories. Sometimes silly, sometimes thought-provoking, always entertaining. Makes me want to read more Twain. ( )

An amusing, interesting collection of quotes from the infamous Mark Twain. Actually very contemporary and fun. A quick read, or something to nibble a little at a time. ( )

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
Mark Twain was famous for his witticisms and this book collects many of his gems in categorized chapters. There are quotes from him on stress management, fashion, and a myriad of other topics, but my personal favorite is swearing. Each of the quotes is also attributed to its exact source, which I appreciated. The lines are hilarious, exactly what you expect from the man who responded to reading his own obituary in the newspaper by saying, “Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” He had an undeniable silver time, and it's fun to read A whole book of clever quips from him.

BOTTOM LINE: Very entertaining and best enjoyed in small doses. Read a few pages each day to get a great laugh. ( )

An enjoyable collection of quotes from one of America's favorite humorists bound in a nice looking little book. The quotes are divided up into sections covering all aspects of life including diet, exercise, work and leisure. After reading I wanted to go straight into a major Twain reading binge! ( )
