The 2010 ReadMOre book selection is The Mysterious Stranger and Other Stories by Mark Twain. In honor of the centennial of Mark Twain’s death in 2010, the ReadMOre committee has selected four colorful short stories spanning the career of Missouri’s most famous author and humorist. The following selected Twain stories may be found in one of several published short story anthologies

Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County Click for the discussion guide: http://www.readmoremissouri.org/library/ReadMOre_2010Twain_DiscussionGuide.pdf Supported by the Missouri Humanities Council, ReadMOre engages libraries, schools, avid readers, private book clubs, booksellers and others in focusing their attention on a compelling piece of literature. Interested readers read the selection and have opportunities to attend book discussions and participate in associated programming hosted across the state in libraries and schools, and at book clubs and other organizations in March, April and May. In 2010, the Missouri Humanities Council will sponsor Mark Twain scholar and impersonator George Frein, to present his Mark Twain program. Ten libraries were selected by a competitive writing process to host Dr. Frein as Mark Twain and the Cape Central High School Library is one of the ten (and the ONLY school library!) |
