Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      @OKnox But one of my schticks is that I read both LMdP and CdMC in the newspaper. Far more interesting that way.

          @emptywheel you get a better sense of the structure that way. I read Comte and all of those at my grandparents' house. Devoured them.

          @OKnox And what else was going on. Every paper in Paris had "Napoleon" stories running in their feuilletons in those years, not surprisingly

          @OKnox And the Napoleon you guys ended up getting was, in many ways, the one from CdMC. Dumas deserved more blame than he got.

          @emptywheel that's fascinating. I had no idea. I was blissfully unaware at 10.

          @emptywheel I read most of Jules Verne and some Dumas(es) at about 10. Re-read later but not after 18.

          @OKnox Haven't read enough Verne. Also mostly published in feuilleton. Theory SciFi arose out of feuilleton bc of pop sci also pubbed there.

          @emptywheel of the lesser-known stuff Paris In The 20th Century is hallucinatory but/and grim. But amazing.
