Another great section, and the book is officially exactly nothing like I was expecting when we started. <\/p>\n
And that’s a joyous distraction, this week of all weeks. <\/p>\n
I’m going to keep the post a little short, but I did want to share a quote that’s been buzzing around my head while I’ve read the last chapter or two.<\/p>\n
It’s my favorite line from TV’s Johnny Carson. Legend has it that during Steve Martin’s first appearance on The Tonight Show,<\/em> Johnny leaned over during a commercial break and told him “You\u2019ll use everything you\u2019ve ever learned.\u201d (See: balloon tricks, banjo playing, et al)<\/p>\n That’s how I feel reading MC.<\/em> The time I’ve spent looking up tetrapods and reccine has been paid back 50 fold. So when I pause to look up “feronia,” I do so with the peace that comes from knowing my effort will be rewarded, if not in this book than perhaps in the bookafter.<\/p>\n Next stop:<\/strong> Let\u2019s meet at the end of the section entitled “Commander Sabarmati’s Baton” (aka page 307 in the Random House paperback), where awaits “the possibility of love.”<\/p>\n And this? <\/strong>This is the post for comments on sections 2.8 through 2.10.<\/p>\n And lastly:<\/strong> wikipedia insists that \u201cferonia\u201d was “a goddess associated with wildlife, fertility, health, and abundance.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another great section, and the book is officially exactly nothing like I was expecting when we started.
