My favorite works by Twain are his travelogues and similar writings -- "Life
on the Mississippi," "Roughing It," "Innocents Abroad" and so on.  I read
everything I could find of this sort by Twain when I was in high school, and
it's probably high time for a re-read by now.  Reading Twain's views of
America and Americans of the nineteenth century, it's really remarkable how
little we have changed.
