Oxford Bookworms Library: Huckleberry Finn: Level 2: 700-Word Vocabularylevel 2
Mark TwainRonan Beckman 📖✍️📚@JPGarlandAuthor @ChaoticScoot Yeah, I had heard he wasn't the nicest. But this can spill into all sorts of areas - such as Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn,which I think reflects the times rather than being outright offensive. It led to purposeful classroom discussions about racism instead of avoiding the issue.

Autobiography
MorrisseyRonan Beckman 📖✍️📚@Susiebookreview If they are traditionally published, I'm more inclined to let rip, example: Morrissey's Autobiography. Even with that, my ire was more directed at lack of editing and getting control of the author's hubris. Indies I give a break and look to encourage, find something positive.

Hallie RubenholdRonan Beckman 📖✍️📚"Ripperologists" keep ensuring that on Wikipedia any references to Hallie Rubenhold's extensive research on Jack the Ripper's victims (outlined in her excellent book, The Five) as it doesn't tally with the salacious narrative of the victims being prostitutes. What can be done? https://t.co/GQg4hpskBy
