"Reads somewhat like a detective novel so far. Fun concept for steampunk-y like vehicles. I'm excited for all the political detail and maneuvering in exports, trade, and manufacturing, guilds and unions." — Nov 20, 2025 12:27PM

"Joe Kennedy being responsible in wooing two of his son's brides as they were; the intense galvanizing of brothers for greater change and influence in culture stemming from JFK'S assassination; a sad childhood of Ted being different, less competitive, less acceptable in fitness, being body shamed, being more sensitive, being teased by his parents and having to live up to his brothers' reputation when not built that." — Nov 13, 2025 04:55PM

“The best thing, though, in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was. Nobody'd move. You could go there a hundred thousand times, and that Eskimo would still be just finished catching those two fish, the birds would still be on their way south, the deers would still be drinking out of that water hole, with their pretty antlers and they're pretty, skinny legs, and that squaw with the naked bosom would still be weaving that same blanket. Nobody's be different. The only thing that would be different would be you. Not that you'd be so much older or anything. It wouldn't be that, exactly. You'd just be different, that's all. You'd have an overcoat this time. Or the kid that was your partner in line the last time had got scarlet fever and you'd have a new partner. Or you'd have a substitute taking the class, instead of Miss Aigletinger. Or you'd heard your mother and father having a terrific fight in the bathroom. Or you'd just passed by one of those puddles in the street with gasoline rainbows in them. I mean you'd be different in some way—I can't explain what I mean. And even if I could, I'm not sure I'd feel like it.”

“I couldn’t forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified. It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
