We finally finished it! It took a lot longer than it would have if I had been reading it to myself, and I think that might have made it almost a little more boring to me, because it was so drawn out.

Also, I think that I'm simply less interested in architecture than all the other topics in Pollan's books. I was mainly interested in the experience of building one's own home (or home away from home) by hand, and less interested in all the different architectural styles in history and how architecture ties into literary theory. A little of that information was nice, but it seemed to be a large part of the book. Chris really enjoyed that part, I think, at least more than I did.

Altogether, though, it was a very well-written and enjoyable book. ]]>
