If you are enamored with the idea of reading someone's journal, this is the book for you. A quick read with no plot, we follow the narrator as he shares his thoughts as he starts his day by building a fire in his fireplace. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. I enjoyed it for the meandering read that it was.
