 | Writing & the Spiritual Life by Patrice Vecchione
Inside the mind of every writer a story exists, and it is the writer's job to find it. But according to poet and teacher Patrice Vecchione, it's only when writers tap into their own spirituality, in whatever form, that they'll be able to find their true voices and release their stories. In the tradition of Anne Lamott's best-selling Bird by Bird, and Julia Cameron's The Right to Write, Writing and the Spiritual Life interweaves the remarks of prominent writers such as Annie Dillard and Joy Marjo with easy-to-follow writing activities.

 | Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Alfred Kazin, Barry Moser, Bob Blaisdell, Donald McKay, E. W. Kemble
Twain spent seven years writing this classic novel--the book Hemingway claimed is the basis for all American fiction. The story of Huck's and Jim's quest for freedom on a raft on the Mississippi provides a panoramic view of Southern society, which Twain saw as beset by greed, violence, and coldhearted brutality. At the end, Huck definitively abandons the conventional cant which he has been raised to believe in when he makes the decision to go to hell rather than betray his friend Jim and send him back to slavery. The book has been banned from time to time, beginning with its publication when it was deemed too subversive for children, until in the late 20th century when, despite its sympathetic attitude toward blacks and is violent denunciation of slavery, it has been branded racist largely because Twain's use of dialect and offensive language.
