A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Just finished reading this Mark Twain satire about a yankee travelling back in time to the 6th century in King Arthur's court and his accomplishments there. It was a little too long, i thought. Pretty much bamboozled to know about slavery and its ugly side in those years which was truly hideous. Are'nt we lucky to be living in these years with internet, google, ipod et al.
