This is similar to my VA threads, except that I'm doing writers instead of actors. The rules are still the same, and short stories are permitted as well.
I'll start it off:

A Short History of a Campaign That Failed
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Great Expectations My dad read it out to me when I was 5, but edited it (guess he didn't know I could read or anything back then cause I picked up on the violence at the beginning) :/
EDIT: My bad I get Mark Twan and Charles Dickens mixed up >_<
...Oliver Twist was a Twan book though, wasn't it?

Oliver Twist was also Dickens. Curious, how can you mix up a Victorian author conserned about British society and one of the premier American authors who specialized in US themes and settings and characters with authentic accents?

*shrugs* Probably the fact that the name "Mark Twan" comes alot alot for me when it comes to literature, and concidering the titles above of what I read back in my childhood was Dickens... can I use the excuse that I was 6-8 at the time so didn't know the difference? ^^
Either than Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, guess I don't really know what he's done^^
