Honestly, it's kind of a ridiculous word.

But it has a ring to it and I like it.

No, it's not a real word.

Mom was watching California's Gold and a guy being interviewed said that he was out with friends once and the guy across from him said he wanted to be a marvelist. The interviewee guy said he did a double take and asked, "Marvelist? Like, you just look at the world and marvel at everything?" The potential marvelist looked at the interviewee guy funny and said, "No. I want to be a novelist."

So even if it's not a real word, I still like it.

I think we all need to be at least part marvelist.
