"I am rereading this because there is a major shift in the second half, and I want to see if I figured out the catalyst. I haven't read Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer in decades, and may go back to visit one or two, just because of how excellent this is.
James and Grandad from the Boondocks agree on at least one thing- don't go around telling white folks the truth." — Mar 07, 2026 11:18AM

"Edmund Morris is fascinated by Thomas Edison. Otherwise, why write a 700pg biography? On top of that why approach it in an entirely unique way?
Morris chronicles his life by decade, in reverse. The first section 1920-1929 was about his interest in botany and his hope to find an affordable rubber substitute. It also describes his worldwide tributes at the end of his life, where he was the most famous person on earth." — Mar 01, 2026 11:54AM

"John Mitchel fits my literary assumptions of an Irish author. He's angry, he loves all of Ireland and he has been aggrieved.
I would definitely read more of his work." — Jun 08, 2025 11:12AM
