Title: I made it through!
Review: It was quite an accomplishment to make it through all of Harrison's puffery to get to the end. I don't think it was worth it. There are some really good sections including one on road trips as a way to break out of the duldrums and of course getting out into the woods - I loved his idea of finding "thickets" in which to escape and get back to normal. I can relate.I'm a huge Harrison fan and love Sundog, Farmer, and Legends of the Fall the best. I just don't get much enjoyment out of is name dropping and arrogant attitude. He mentions his wife and family rarely and there's just a couple references about his writing and approach. I get the feeling he wrote this pretty fast and a couple chapters seem like stand-alone essays that were thrown in. This book could have used some good editing/pruning.That said, Harrison is still tied for my favorite author and his books are prominent on my bookshelf.
