This is similar to my VA threads, except that I'm doing writers instead of actors. The rules are still the same, and short stories are permitted as well.
I'll start it off:
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

A Short History of a Campaign That Failed
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Neil Postman
(The End of Education)

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge

Great Expectations My dad read it out to me when I was 5, but edited it (guess he didn't know I could read or anything back then cause I picked up on the violence at the beginning) :/

EDIT: My bad I get Mark Twan and Charles Dickens mixed up >_<

...Oliver Twist was a Twan book though, wasn't it?

Oliver Twist was also Dickens. Curious, how can you mix up a Victorian author conserned about British society and one of the premier American authors who specialized in US themes and settings and characters with authentic accents?

*shrugs* Probably the fact that the name "Mark Twan" comes alot alot for me when it comes to literature, and concidering the titles above of what I read back in my childhood was Dickens... can I use the excuse that I was 6-8 at the time so didn't know the difference? ^^
Either than Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, guess I don't really know what he's done^^

The Prince and the Pauper


Actually, I just finished reading this one. XD
"That's some good advice. Maybe I should write that down, frame it, and stick it up on my wall." - Colonel Karl Lichen Schubaltz (Zoids: Chaotic Century)

"I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours" - Casting Crowns ("Who Am I")
