Status Updates From Landscape Painted with Tea

I had lost this book to a packed up beach chair. Now that it's beach season, I've found it. I'm amazed how every paragraph can stand by itself. It's so poetic. It is not, however, a quick and easy read for me. It's like caviar. It's exciting for a quick taste but you can't make a meal of it. Like caviar, I'm sampling the book a few pages at a time.

Yeah, I've been trying to read this book since like 2006. It's like reading a poem and I love it, but there's never a compelling reason for me to keep reading, unlike Dictionary of the Khazars.
