Didn't get very far and had to turn it back in. Hopefully I can continue some other time.

I'm only a little ways in and I already enjoy it so much! The coat of many sides! Want!

The "Roof" chapter felt impossibly long. Still two chapters to go, hopefully with more musing, less lecturing.

This is the kind of book I have always wanted, now made real. I will most likely buy a copy so I can just pick it up at random and savor bits and pieces for a long time.

Kinda sorta wishing I had re-read the previous books or at least looked back over any notes I might have made. But I'm slowly getting the gist of what happened before.

Wow! Part 1 was awesome. Hoping the rest of the book is this good.

Wow. One of the most beautiful short stories I've read in a long time: The Doctor and the Rabbi. Absolutely beautiful.

Very much enjoying these short stories already - poetic and whimsical and critical.

Enjoying this book so much more than I thought I would. This question of subtle yet significant changes in evolution and geology and the differences they would make to, well, everything!

Not the best book to look at before going to bed.

I loved the story from the Miao-Tzu tribes in China. All the stories have been interesting so far -- mythologies from various cultures that each have a slightly different take on seasons and cycles.

This book is so good so far! And it is incredibly frustrating that I can't get to it again until the weekend!

p. 62 "meditation… exposes a contradiction between the sort of person we wish to be and the kind of person we are. Restlessness and lethargy are ways of evading the discomfort of this contradiction."
