"I am someone who names Centennial as my favorite novel, and celebrates Michener’s birthday each year with my girlfriend, scrapple, bison burgers, etc. And if I don’t name Michener as my favorite novelist, it’s only because my tastes run towards dramatic flamboyance and extreme living. But here we have Michener writing in 1979, celebrating what is great about America, and diagnosing challenges we will face." — Mar 27, 2026 09:12AM

"I love etymology so much, and this passage gets at why. We are passing through time enveloped in a cloud of meanings.

“People did not know what she knew, that she was not really a woman but a man, often a fat man, but more often, probably, an old man. The fact that she was an old man made it hard for her to be a young woman. It was hard for her to talk to a young man, for instance, though the young man was clearly interested in her. She had to ask herself, Why is this young man flirting with this old man?”

“I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading; since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.”
