Review title: Believe the two stars reviews Product review: Skip this one, really. Don't even bother. Go for the "Confederates" if you are looking for a first or second dip.I'm giving two stars only because there are a few brilliant one-liners here and there. But you won't find a real plot or anything to keep you awake on this one.Just plain boring.

Review title: Maddening Product review: A work of supreme self-indulgence. Katz needs to re-read the 7 Story Mountain, then take a look at Augustine's Confessions and Dorothy Day's Long Lonelines, and see what was really at stake for these great seekers. A vague "quest for the spiritual" is doomed to self-absorbed circularity which may be fascinating to the subject but is dull to the outsider. The spiritual seeker looks for truth, not mere peace of mind, because he or she realizes that the essential question being asked is "why am I here and what am I supposed to do with this life?" and the answers to that are not found in the self, but in the One who brought the Self into being. The reviewer below is right. You can't divorce spirituality from theology. Besides the Christians I mentioned above, Katz might take a look at the Buddhist thinkers before he runs away again: "Whereever you go, there you are."

Review title: A good getaway-style book Product review: My favorite book related to vacation home style is Cottage Style, and I wrote a review of that book on amazon awhile back. This Cabin Fever book is a bit narrower in scope, but I am enjoying all the photos. Because I love Better Homes and Gardens Cottage Style, I just bought the new BH&G book called Second Home, which shows one great house after another. I'm getting lots of decorating ideas from those homes. But Second Home also has great information on real estate shopping, home design, and decorating, too. It's my kind of book, because it's a dream book that also helps me do something to achieve the dream.
