Just an Introduction

My name is Kathryn. I am currently reading the book ''The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'' by Mark Twain. Just a bit about the author: Mark Twain lived from 1835 to 1910. His real name was actually Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Mark Twain was one of the 'pen names' he used. Mark Twain wrote many novels (fiction and non-fiction), poems, and short stories.

All of his work had an element of humor in it. Twain was known to be quite a humorous person.

I decided to read the book ''The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'' for a couple of reasons. One of them being that friends of mine who had previously read this book told me that it was a very humorous and intriguing story. Another reason I decided to read this book is the fact that it is a classic. I don't read books often, so for this occasion I decided to pick a popular classic that everyone knows and almost everyone loves.

This blog is going to be a display of my thoughts and feelings about the book as I read the book. I intend to give a short summary of what I read, my thoughts or questions about the reading, and a bit of background information each time I read and blog.
