How I'm going to read Huckleberry Finn novel (or attempt to at least)

I found this site on StumbleUpon.

Orson Scott Card talks about how audiobooks are convenient and are becoming less expensive (toward the bottom of the article). I thought it was interesting that he failed to mention any of the drawbacks we discussed in class, maybe he is better at concentrating than most of us... 

Gaiman talks about how allowing online copies of his work has directly influenced sales of his books, especially in countries where piracy is common.

"Web surfing as a form of self-expression. Every click is indicative of who we are: indicative of our likes, our dislikes, our emotions, our politics, our world view. Of course, marketers have long recognized this, but literature hasn't yet learned to treasure-and exploit-this situation. The idea for this class arose from my frustration with reading endless indictments of the Web for making us dumber. I've been feeling just the opposite. We're reading and writing more than we have in a generation, but we are reading and writing differently-skimming, parsing, grazing, bookmarking, forwarding, retweeting, reblogging, and spamming language-in ways that aren't yet recognized as literary."

""Reading and experience train your model of the world. And even if you forget the experience or what you read, its effect on your model of the world persists. Your mind is like a compiled program you've lost the source of. It works, but you don't know why.""

"The bottom line is, you go where the intensity is for you as a writer; you give birth to characters for deep, complex reasons. And this should never be politicized by anyone. Your challenge is to do a fine and honest and effective job. Don't ever let anyone insist you give up without even trying. Two of the greatest novels about women that I've ever read, Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary were written by men. One of the finest novels about men that I've ever read, The Last of the Wine, was written by a woman. That was Mary Renault. And her novel, The Persian Boy, about a Persian eunuch is a classic. The vital literature we possess today was created by men and women of immense imagination, personal courage and personal drive. Ignore all attempts to politicize or police your imagination and your literary ambition."

It's actually pretty cool, and I found out about a lot of interesting literature on a number of subjects, including geography. I discovered an cheap essay writing service https://order.studentshare.org/ , which you may peruse, study, and, of course, strive to improve as much as possible. I already know that these articles are superb, and that you will gain a lot from them, both academically and in terms of your personal development in this or that field.

To write even an ordinary essay is not enough effort. And at the university there are quite voluminous tasks. So I decided to turn for help with capstone project https://www.capstoneproject.net/ and my dissertation. I can imagine if I was given the task to write a book. It would be a nightmare. I wouldn't have done it.
