I ran into this essay by Jonathan Franzen,
The Comfort Zone which I really enjoyed. His riffs on the joys of the old Charlie Brown comic strips really brought me back to a time in my childhood where I was reading the same old Charlie Brown collections. This sentence in particular stuck out as it reminded me of how I felt at the same age.
“The perfect silliness of stuff like this, the koanlike inscrutability, entranced me even when I was ten.”
Jonathan Franzen
I finished reading the article before realizing that the author was the same as “The Corrections” which I read and enjoyed last year.
