    Not proud of this, Ive never read a Mark Twain novel. I dont read novels. Its embarrassing somewhat but not enough to make me start.

    That being said ive been watching the Mark Twain documentary. None of my hs or college english classes had a Twain assignment (i did read english assignments) and i had no idea his importance in humanizing black people and their plight

    Another thank you Ken Burns

    Excellent bump. Reminds me to look up some of his stuff I haven't seen. Some are of course better than others but I don't think I've disliked anything he's done.

    No Taxation without Representation is so IMPORTANT IMO, it's the epitome of why we fight for Justice and I think this small fact gets lost at times, I am fine with paying for things such as roads and safety, but I want a say in how it's being spent

    Since the thread had been bumped I've added both Country Music and the National Parks docs to my watch list. I love them both. Country music might be one of the best except one of the last episodes, I didn't enjoy at all
