I just got finished reading The Mysterious Stranger, a short story by Mark Twain. It was very twisted, my first encounter with Mark Twains work, giving me a new found respect for him.
Here's a clip of a 1980's cartoon, based on the short book of short stories the Mysterious Stranger comes from.
Now I'm taking on the works of Karl Marx. A book called
Capital Volume 2... they didn't have Volume 1 at the library.
