Unreal
This book might be interesting to those who grew up in the 60s. He rambles on and on about his way of thinking but never really says anything. I never did understand why guests came to visit the place. There might be three chapters at the end of his discourse that share some information about living as self-reliant. I don't really care if he has 300 Madonnas placed here and there about his house, I want to know more about solar energy, gray water recycling, composting, and other ways to live outside the suburban grid.
The blub says, One Couple's "Learn as We Go" journey to self-reliance. You hear little to nothing from the wife who is working a 40-hour week but you read an entire chapter about his lid collection.
I'm so glad I checked this out of the library before buying it. Obviously, I am not going to add it to my collection.
