Funny.
I just went through #Michener's bibliography and got stuck on this one, for obvious reasons.
I have read it so far, but I intend to do so.

The Source is an excellent idea, Kevin.👍

Attached: 1 image @[email protected] @[email protected] My choice for today's #BooksThatInfluencedYou is also one from James Michener. I just love how he does his deep history by following fictional families. I've read a bunch of his and not sure which might be the one I'd highlight, but I will definitely choose this one considering that I think a lot of people talking about Israel would benefit from reading this.

Very welcome.
#Michener is (was?) a prolific writer and an intense researcher.

Other really good ones I remember:
#Texas and #Hawaii.

(Which reminds me, had been wanting to read #Poland for years. 🙈)

I've been trying to take my child to the The #Michener #Art #Museum in #Doylestown, PA. But no, nobody wants to go with me. I suck.

#February 3, 1907
#OTD James #Michener, American #Pulitzer Prize-winning #Writer, is born.

He wrote over 40 books.

Today, you can visit the Michener Art #Museum & #Sculpture #Garden in his hometown of #Doylestown.

In #Chesapeake (1978), his character #Rosalind shared her #Garden design strategy:

"My principal #Flowers will be #Trees. Because when you #Plant trees, you're entitled to believe you'll live forever."
