A Place for a Fool to Try and Look Interesting

I'm Mandi, 19, a simple girl trying to wander down the aimless path of life searching for her own little haven. I like to rant about life and the world when I'm not terribly depressed... when I am I usually just reblog a lot of pointless photos or a song that's stuck in my head. As of late I've turned to a lot of Harry Potter like things ...
Philosophy and Traveling are key to my life.
I won't lie I'm a pretty boring person so turn back now while you still can.

THE INDEPENDENT (U.K.): The first volume of Mark Twain's autobiography to be published 100 years after his death →

inothernews:

Exactly a century after rumours of his death turned out to be entirely accurate, one of Mark Twain’s dying wishes is at last coming true: an extensive, outspoken and revelatory autobiography which he devoted the last decade of his life to writing is finally going to be published.

The creator of Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn and some of the most frequently misquoted catchphrases in the English language left behind 5,000 unedited pages of memoirs when he died in 1910, together with handwritten notes saying that he did not want them to hit bookshops for at least a century.

That milestone has now been reached, and in November the University of California, Berkeley, where the manuscript is in a vault, will release the first volume of Mark Twain’s autobiography. The eventual trilogy will run to half a million words, and shed new light on the quintessentially American novelist.

Oh Mark Twain <3 this is so like you. Still yearning for stardom a century after your death. I want it.
