"Books that make you understand the ways in which the history you're learning about is applicable to the present day are so fun to read. This author will NOT let you forget that the 1906 Earthquake and Hurricane Katrina showed the same pattern of authorities lying about victims' behavior and using that as a justification for inaction (at best) or brutality (at worst)." — Apr 16, 2025 07:29AM

“Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.”
