"I'm not depressed but know people who are and wanted to learn more about it. The beginning is a bit weird in the long preface is all about how the reader should trust the author or the solutions he is sharing in the rest of the book won't work. Oh well, I'm off to begin chapter 1." Feb 20, 2014 06:28AM

"I picked this up at Olympia National Park. My family and I have visited over 45 of the National Parks and I thought this book of short stories as recounted by park employees and volunteers would help me to re-live the experience I had while visiting the park that's highlighted in the stories. I've loved many of the parks and my expectations are high for this book." Jul 14, 2016 09:19AM

"I was 75 percent done when I loaned this book to a friend who became interested when I attempted to describe it. Guess it will remain on hold until I buy a replacement or my friend decides to give it back. Lesson learned!" Aug 03, 2013 09:23AM

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Frank Zappa
“So many books, so little time.”
Frank Zappa

Henry David Thoreau
“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods

Albert Camus
“Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow
Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead
Walk beside me… just be my friend”
Albert Camus

Maurice Switzer
“It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.”
Maurice Switzer, Mrs. Goose, Her Book
