YOU LIE EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT

This short Audible selection is a dramatization of a speech Mark Twain gave in Hartford. Listen to it if only to see inside yourself. The performance is good. A good introduction into one of Twain's lesser known works.

American Humour...

...at its best. None better than Twain, then or since. Classic stuff, for certain sure.
