Written in 1911, this is a wonderful piece of biting satire from one of Mark Twain's friends (and rivals). "Love: n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only amongst civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient." "Riot: n. A popular entertainment given to the military by innocent bystanders." Our edition is illustrated by Ralph Steadman, so it kicks ultra-ass.
I read this book when I was 16 years old. I reread it because I plan to see the movie (by Tyler Perry). With adult eyes and experiences, I have a deeper understanding of the life circumstances of the characters. It is a poignant, moving work that has stood the test of time.
