Almost done…this is the longest book I’ve ever listened to on audiobook.

Thank God it's over. Don't get me wrong, she writes beautifully and poignantly. And the parts about T.H. White were fascinating. It just turns out that descriptions of hunts-by-hawk bore me to death. It's like any time someone with a hobby that you don't partake in starts ranting about gear you have no interest in but you listen because you're polite. I felt like that through this whole book.

Ok, I didn't finish it. I admit it. I couldn't get into it. Every highschool boy who was inspired by Jack Kerouac came to mind- trying to be Buddhists/hikers/rebels. I am past that phase. I don't need this kind of literature. When I can expect female characters to be like Princess (having orgies with Bohemians, calling herself Princess) I lost interest. Plus, i already read Wild, so I'm good on hiking epics.
