I just finished reading the book Pudd'nhead Wilson by Mark Twain, and I think this just might be one of my top favorite books. It was a simple fast read, that was also incredibly witty and humorous. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from it:
Adam was but human- this explains it all. He did not
want the apple for the apple's sake, he wanted it only because it was

These are just a few of the quotes that I liked from this book.
The story line and the characters were also entertaining and thought

read it. Probably my favorite Mark Twain book.
