Old Books, New Readers discussion

Hi Everyone,

The winner of the April 2024 Book of the Month, for the theme of humour and comedy, is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.

I have not read this before, but I read Huckleberry Finn last summer, which seemed to reference characters and events from this novel.



Here is a reading schedule. The page numbers are based off of the Amazon Classics Kindle version, so your version may be different.

Week 1: April 2-9	Chapters 1-9	pp. 1-74
Week 2: April 10-16 	Chapters 10-18	pp. 75-136
Week 3: April 17-23	Chapters 19-27	pp. 137-186
Week 4: April 24-30 	Chapters 28-35	pp. 186-243

Well I've read this so many, many times (maybe 20 or so), I don't think i'm up for reading it AGAIN. At least not yet. Give my regards to Becky Thatcher and Injun Joe.

Wait a minute, that sounds familiar! I think I may have actually read this before 30-35 years ago.

I just recently reread this maybe one or two months ago! Super stoked
