After this book, I'll forever carry Twain in my trips, love this man's mind.
"He rose to his feet, and assumed an attitude which for sublimity has never been approached men, and has seldom been surpassed by statues."
"...for the thunder came first and the lightning followed after."
The rant about not being able to sleep, totally get it!
