Chronicle During Books Extracts from Adam's Diary/Eve's Diary
EXTRACTS from Adam's Diary.Eve's Diary COMPLETE.
And of course there was much, much less to Eve's. I wonder, if Mark Twain were really Samantha L. Clemens, would it be ADAM'S DIARY COMPLETE and EXTRACTS FROM EVE'S DIARY?
Which would any of you prefer to read? I think I'd like the complete diaries of each!
Adam simply did not know what to think of Eve when she appeared, and at times he was VERY impatient with her. You've just got to read his reaction to the arrival of Cain, then how he keeps up with the development of this new creature that looks more and more like them than like the other creatures around them. Stay tuned to see if Adam is ABLE to cope with the next new arrival...
I enjoyed Eve's explorations, her reasons for the particular names she chose for things, and how she would think she came up with an idea or a remark that was so clever or thoughtful "for one so young." I think she enjoyed life and living more than Adam did. You'd hate to think that he thought, "That was the perfect day--until SHE showed up...." Is that what Eve would have said about life and Adam if she had been created first and then had her landscape cluttered up with THAT specimen?
Whether you're a son of Adam or a daughter of Eve, thanks for reading. And whoever you are, I hope you're enjoying life rather than tolerating existence.

"Wheresoever she was, there was Eden," - Adam, standing at the graveside of Eve, 40 years after they were expelled from the Garden.What can you say? The master of satire and jest tackles the beginning of mankind. A rare book (but available free on iBooks) that is not read too often. The awkwardness of the beginnings of any man-woman relationship (each with it's gender stereotypes) is addressed with wit and humor. The edge to this book is certainly the fact that Adam and Eve were the first couple on earth and had no experience from the collective consciousness to fall back upon. Makes for hilarious reading.
It jumps right into the middle of the story and leaves out the lead upto the end. Don't waste your time with this one. Read the real one.

The feeling of Adam at the end was what was the book about. "Where was she there was Eden"
These were hilarious. It is interesting to see Mark Twain's views on male and female psychology.

Teensy and quick, this is a little slip of a book (books?). Covering the same time period, these stories address the creation, fall from grace, and lifetime of Adam and Eve from their own perspectives. Adam is irritable and petulant and selfish. Eve is caring and ebullient and a bit dim and co-dependent. I read Adam's diary first and then Eve's, which is good if only because I think I'd have quit if I read Eve's first. I'm not sure Twain had a great opinion of "the fairer sex."
