I wanted to do a less-common Twain book to begin the year. Basically the following are out:
-connecticut yankee
-huck finn
-sawyer
What would /lit/ say is the best book between PuddinHead Wilson, Roughing It, and The Gilded Age???
Also. Taking other suggestions, so feel free.

Dude you are surrounded by 16-17 year old pussy nonstop. How do you stop yourself from being in anguish every day? Those girls are literally at their absolute prime. All bubbly and perky with perfectly smooth babyfat skin, radiating golden warmth just by existing. They're basically radiating IMPREGNATE ME pheromones at you, literally right out of their vaginas, and dressing like total sluts while you're standing in front of a blackboard talking about Mark Twain.
How do you control yourself? I would be sniffing 35 seats a day.

Do "The Mysterious Stranger" even though it's not any good.

True story: our administrators say stuff along those lines to us to try and get us to slip up and admit something we don't want to admit. Pretty fucked

then why do it if it's no good?
I haven't read it but after looking at it's wikipedia, seems like the themes could be pretty interesting
dont be a faggot, just do huck finn and make all of the squeamish kids say the n word out loud.

I have always liked "Life on the Mississippi". I also find his essay "The Awful German Language" quite hilarious, being German myself (and an ESL teacher too, by the way). And how about "The Prince and the Pauper"?

This. Life on the Mississippi may be his best book. Also has the virtue of being Americana and shorter (if I remember correctly) than Roughing It.

I was a 12th grade teacher and this literally never once crossed my mind. Rethink your life, anon.
