    <about><![CDATA[I have set up a labelling system which includes two entitled &quot;classics&quot; and &quot;formative.&quot; The first is meant to distinguish the books I feel are considered necessary reading by our culture up to this point; that is, these are the ones most frequently taught and referenced in the culture at large. The &quot;formative&quot; label is meant to convey a list of books that have been essential to my understanding of the world.]]></about>

          <body><![CDATA[Awww, thanks, Gwen. A truly marvelous book. I think it suffers (only a bit) in consistency, but it makes up for that in spades by being one of the more insidious critiques of capitalism and industrialization I've read from 19th century America. It was a very funny book, sometimes frighteningly so. Mark Twain really is one of the greatest American authors. I keep meaning to read much more of his work.]]></body>
