We are back in business!!

By overwhelming popular demand (OK, really only 2 requests: Missy and Kimi), we are resurrecting our book club.
The hope is that with more enjoyable reading perhaps it will work this time. Our new selection is: The Adventures of Hucklebery Finn.
Yes, Huckleberry Finn is on the list of best books of the Western world. But it also should be more fun with wider interest than our other selections.
Years ago I remember hearing someone say, "Everyone should read Huckleberry Finn twice in their life. Once as a youth, to enjoy the story. And once as an adult to learn about life." Whether old or young or somewhere in between, I hope we all enjoy reading-- or re-reading-- this classic tale and that we learn someting interesting to share with each other.
thanks,

PS Could someone who is way more technologically capable than me, please put this on the Livingston Family website?
PSS Bryan, if you would like, perhaps we could deviate from the Worlds Greatest Books List and use your suggestion of "Odds Are You Are Going to Be Exalted" as our next selection. You'll have to join, though, and get involved to nominate a book! (Yes, your brother is being manipulative!)
