I love how dramatic the author gets. On Stratus clouds: "I'm walking below a sky of stagnant dishwater. No wonder it is making me feel miserable... I may be a lover of clouds but today I long to catch a glimpse, just a fleeting glimpse, of brilliant sunshine. Below this ceiling of Stratus nebulosus opacus, it feels as if God's decided to cut his fuel bills and install a fluorescent strip."

I didn't realize this was going to be such a good book to bring on my NYC vacation: "Zee talked about how luxurious it felt to do nothing in New York City, a place where you could do anything. He kept saying "opportunity cost," that the opportunity cost of doing nothing in the city was so immense that it felt opulent."

Already loving this! This latest section reminded me of something I heard from a fellow vegan years ago and has always stuck with me; the risks of depersonalizing outweigh the risks of anthropomorphizing.
