Robert Day’s Reviews > Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness > Status Update

Read a whole chapter to the wife to let her know what I was up against and she said "why you reading that book?" I had no reply.

I agree with some of the things he said and of those I don't agree with - I like the way he said them.

A story. A relief.

Slow. Like the desert

Page 21 and I reach the book proper. The first intro was by Robert (no relation) Macfarlane and was full of big words that I didn't understand. If the author hadn't been dead 30 years I'm sure he'd have kicked up a real stink! The second intro was by the author. That was much better. Eases my way into the book proper, which I'll start tomorrow.
