Do you only read nautical novels and your own personal manifestos? Also, what is a manifesto?

    Oxford - a public declaration of policy and aims, especially one issued before an election by a political party or candidate.

    Webster - a written statement declaring publicly the intentions, motives, or views of its issuer.

    Apart from expressing my views on social sites, I've never written a manifesto. Don't see the need.

    The only nautical novel I've read is Conrad's Lord Jim.

    Strangely enough, when my eye fell on 'nautical novels', my mind also went directly to Joseph Conrad (as a seaman-novelist). Just thought I should mention that.

    When I was a kid in school and they were teaching US history I thought "Ostend Manifesto" was Latin for "manifest destiny". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostend_Manifesto

    Umm..James Michener and the anti-technology manifesto. In my own words, a manifesto is a pointedly over emotional plea book to create unmitigated radical change. This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at January 16, 2021 7:28 AM MST
