5.0

This book has a meandering pace that is meant to be nibbled on and not binged. There are so many deeply thought providing questions woven into the mundane activities of like (making coffee, having snacks, etc.) that I would be caught off guard by the profoundness that slapped me periodically. This is absolutely a book that I need to read again with a notebook so I can journal when I'm not racing to return a library loan. I'm sure a lot of people will find the story boring, but I kind of think that's the point. To get us to slow down enough to find what we love and examine what we've accepted.
