Twain may have been different (similar is some ways too), than, say, Faulkner, but he is great in his own way. Poor guy was an atheist though.
I love The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and I'm sure Mr. Faulkner did as well. As did Bret Harte *& Flannery O' Connor probably.
Dickens is also great in his way. He's not Dostoevsky, but you just know he loved the Russian lit. (fantastic characters..Dickensian, even!)
In all of British 19th c. lit, what other prominent literary figures are there?
(there's) Blake, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Austen, Fyodor fan Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (others I'm forgetting)
rtemembering some minor figures (should I i=nclude>>>???)
Spurgeon, who is a very noteworthy theologian.
hmm...
Shelley
oh..Lewis Carroll...Robert & Elizaberth (elizabteh um try again,) Elizabeth Barrett Browning,
A lot of these are very great (especially blake), but Dickens can hold his own with this crowd rather nicely.
Oh shit...ignore the tangent.
I'm not going anywhere. Letterman is on now. Much to fucked-up to go anywhere anyhow. Sonic Youth in the baja. Cloudy here, but the stars are out somewhere.
