Eve’s Diary by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: comedy
Eve’s Diary is a humorous monologue about Eve’s experiences at the dawn of creation. She is fascinated by every aspect of the new world around her and... Adam! The following is an extract from Adam:
“She is all interest, eagerness, vivacity, the world is to her a charm, a wonder, a mystery, a joy; she can’t speak for delight when she finds a new flower, she must pet it and caress it and smell it and talk to it.... And she is color-mad: brown rocks, yellow sand, gray moss, green foliage, blue sky...none of them is of any practical value, so far as I can see, but because they have color and majesty, that is enough for her, and she loses her mind over them.... If there is anything on the planet that she is not interested in, it is not in my list.”

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: adventure
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) by Mark Twain is one of the truly great American novels, beloved by children, adults, and literary critics alike. The book tells the story of “Huck” Finn (first introduced as Tom Sawyer’s sidekick in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer), his friend Jim, and their journey down the Mississippi River on a raft. Both are on the run, Huck from his drunk and abusive father, and Jim as a runaway slave.
As Huck and Jim drift down the river, they meet many colorful characters and have many great adventures. The true heart of the story, however, is the friendship between Huck and Jim. A constant theme throughout the book is Huck’s internal struggle between what he has been taught, that helping a runaway slave is a sin, and what he truly believes, that Jim is a good man and it couldn’t possibly be wrong to help him.
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was unique at the time of its publication (1884) because it is narrated by Huck himself and is written in the numerous dialects common in the area and time in which the book is set. Although the book was originally intended as a sequel to the children’s book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, as Twain wrote Adventures of Huckleberry Finn it progressed into a more serious work. Twain’s views on slavery and other social issues of the time become clear through the words, thoughts, and actions of Huck Finn. The book has always been the subject of great controversy, and according to The American Library Association it was fifth on the list of most frequently challenged books in the 1990s.

Mental Telegraphy by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: philosophy
In Mental Telegraphy, Mark Twain turns a string of baffling coincidences into a brisk, funny, and strangely unsettling investigation of how minds might reach each other across distance. Writing in the familiar voice of the great American storyteller, Twain presents what he calls his discovery: that certain incidents we dismiss as mere chance behave, in their timing and precision, like messages sent and received. He frames the piece as a rescued manuscript from years earlier, withheld because he feared the world would treat it as a joke, then revived when the era's new interest in psychical research gave his notion a name of its own. From there he offers a parade of real-life episodes involving friends, letters that seem to anticipate each other, thoughts that appear to arrive uninvited, and impulses that are answered before they are spoken. Twain is not a wide-eyed believer; he is a showman of evidence, inviting the listener to weigh probability, memory, and human pattern-seeking against the tempting possibility that thought itself can travel. Part memoir, part argument, and part comic performance, it is Twain at his most curious and provocative.
