Is it just me or are most "classic" authors talentless hacks who are only noteworthy for their political views?

No seriously, Mark Twain is a terrible writer. Try reading one of his novels in 2015, with the mind of an adult.

Most of you probably haven't read Twain since you were in high school, when you had a much higher tolerance for said-bookisms and run-on sentences.

have to admit i didnt care for HF and i m an edgy faglord who gets a warm fuzzy feeling when reading 'nigger' in print. reading 1st person hillbilly spliced with niggerjim speak feels gimmicky after awhile. i did enjoy the family feud & that one badass who btfo a whole town though...
