Other than that, this assiduous log of the commonplace mental minutiae of a highly conscious doctor could stand as a historical record for what it was like to live a conscious lifestyle in 2005...that is, if you are wealthy, healthy, pragmatic, and also have managed to spawn a blues prodigy and a prodigious young poet. One's critique will depend on whether this account sounds alluring or just boring. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/122992?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
