That's only for everyone east of the Rockies, the west coast was all out enjoying the sunshine, but the rain is coming back now at least here. :)

Apparently the warm up is taking a while.

OK, I'll bite and make an eleventh hour nomination - The Innocents Abroad, by Mark Twain. Public domain and readily available, including a lovely copy here at MR.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:

The Innocents Abroad, or The New Pilgrims' Progress is a travel book by American author Mark Twain published in 1869 which humorously chronicles what Twain called his "Great Pleasure Excursion" on board the chartered vessel Quaker City (formerly USS Quaker City) through Europe and the Holy Land with a group of American travelers in 1867. It was the best-selling of Twain's works during his lifetime, as well as being one of the best-selling travel books of all time.

That's an interesting choice. I didn't care much for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but this sounds better and I'm all about giving authors second chances this year.

I'll second The Innocents Abroad.

WT Sharpe 02-27-2015 04:33 PM

Third Innocents Abroad.

Dazrin 02-27-2015 04:34 PM

And I guess I won't third that... Good thing I refreshed before I did.

WT Sharpe 02-27-2015 04:45 PM

And since I was seconding, I added a Kindle edition.

Nominations are now closed. I'll return just as fast as I can do a polling thread on an iPad. ;)
