This second non-fiction book of stories about Brown’s life as a large animal vet in rural Maine in the 1960s-1970s is not as good as the first, and the first book was not as good as James Herriot’s books which they resemble. All the same, it’s an enjoyable quick read. The formulaic structure of the stories as short anecdotes gets redundant, but nevertheless, it’s a fascinating perspective.

This is an odd book. It’s an account of a year spent training in Nordic skiing, but it’s less about skiing then random other experiences during the year, some mundane and some life-changing. I am a fan of Bill McKibben’s writing, but this is probably my least favorite. Nevertheless, I really did enjoy the skiing parts.

I feel like it would be good for me to go back and finish this book. I enjoyed the part I read, but now it feels like a burden, like it may be more

It’s been so long since I read any of this book that I would probably have to start over. However, I probably won’t; it never grabbed my attention the way other Tom Robbins books have.

Somewhat useful book, but I lost interest. I never finished it.

I finally started reading this book, and it’s great
