Hal Holbrook and Mark Twain

If you missed Bill Moyers interviewing Hal Holbrook Friday night then you are in luck. The Now website has the full transcript of the show in which Moyers talks to Holbrook not only about his acting but about Mark Twain. Holbrook has perfomrned his one man show of Twain over 2,000 times and knows a thing or two about the man. Made me want to read more Twain beyond the the standard Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer from my school days. For Twain fans there is also a short quiz for you to test your knowledge. Other interesting items on the site include an article about book banning and children's lit, and a Now booklist featuring the books of various guests as well as books those guests have mentioned. It is a most excellent list if your brain needs something filling to nosh on.
