Eve’s Diary
Mark Twain
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
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.”

Brief, Profound, and Beautiful! It touches me in a divine way.

this is my first time giving audio books a try and this just happened to be the first story I listened to. I thought the story was cute and Eve was a bit silly (total girl). I would say give it a try, I enjoyed it!
a fun and honest book, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I loved this story. The only thing that would have made it better was if it would have been much much longer. :D Now it's on to Adam's side of the story.
