As I have explored on this blog before I am something of a dolt. Sure I can spin a sentence in a favorable direction and in conversation I can act like I know a lot of junk about literature but in general I have not actually read much of it. When I was a kid from the age of about 6 to the age of about 12 I am fairly certain that I wrote 8 book reports about The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Now, this is already a blemish on my permanent life record but it gets worse. You see when I was a kid I would wake up an hour early to watch television before school. I loved television and HBO played Fraggle Rock at 6AM. At 6:30AM the network played a clever animated series from Japan that very specifically and accurately told the stories from each chapter of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Classic literature in cartoon form, sign me up! This is all to say that, even though I wrote several book reports on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer I never actually read the thing. Sure I skimmed it for pertinent quotes and really I feel like I know the book intimately but in the end my experience with it is not particularly literary.
