  The classic travelogue of one of America's most famous authors, Following the Equator was written when Twain had fallen on hard times. At the time, Twain found himself compelled to take a tour of the British Empire in 1895 and write about it.
  
  This account of that trip, published in 1897, is a classic example of Twain's ever-vigilant observational wit. He addresses ever timely topics such as racism, imperialism, and religion.

  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Joe Pesci's Oscar acceptance speech is the sixth shortest in the Academy's history. It was simply, "It's my privilege, thank you." He later admitted that he didn’t expect to win, which is why he kept it short.” 
    
  “Ray Liotta once mentioned that Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci were like the "glitter" of the film, while he was more like the "glue" that held everything together.” 
    
  “The film was ranked number two on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest gangster films in June 2008.” 
    
  “Initially, producer Irwin Winkler disagreed with Martin Scorsese's choice of Ray Liotta for the role of Henry Hill. Liotta convinced him in a conversation at a restaurant.” 
    
  “Robert De Niro was offered the roles of both Jimmy "The Gent" Conway and Tommy DeVito, but he chose to play Jimmy.”

  Humor - The Joyful Perspective -...

  Humor is a powerful tool that can shape our perspectives, influence our emotions, and improve our well-being. It is more than just a way to entertain or amuse; humor has the ability to impact the body and mind in profound ways. When we laugh, it triggers the release of endorphins, the brain’s natural feel-good chemicals. These endorphins create a sense of happiness and well-being, helping to reduce stress, lower anxiety, and even enhance our immune system. Laughter, in its simplest form, is an emotional release, and it allows us to cope with the difficulties of life more effectively. 
  The power of humor lies in its ability to shift our perspective. When faced with challenges or setbacks, humor provides a fresh lens through which we can view the situation. It encourages us to laugh at the absurdity of our troubles, allowing us to detach from the weight of negative emotions and gain a sense of control over the situation. This shift in perspective is not only liberating but also empowering, as it opens up new possibilities for problem-solving and resilience. Humor gives us permission to not take life too seriously, helping us maintain a sense of lightness even in the face of adversity. 
  Beyond its psychological benefits, humor also plays a vital role in social bonding. It brings people together, breaking down barriers and fostering connection. Shared laughter creates a sense of belonging, helping us relate to one another in meaningful ways. Humor can bridge gaps between cultures, generations, and backgrounds, making it a universal language that transcends differences. It helps us navigate difficult social situations and enhances our ability to communicate effectively.
