You're either a Pollan fan or you're not, and for Pollan fans, this book is every bit as fun and informative (tho on a much smaller scale) as Omnivore's Dilemma. If you're into purely linear thought, don't read it. Pollan thinks in spokes -- lots of linear lines shooting out all over the place but never scattershot and always tied together around the edge with an articulate, interesting philosophy. You have to be willing to go with the flow, but he is always entertaining and always a thought ahead of himself. For the time I'm reading it, I want to build a hut even though I have no woods, no pond, and no real desire to sit/work inside one. I'm reading the last part of the book slowly now, reluctant to finish and have to put it away, but willing to because that will let me go on to the next Pollan inspiration.Get more detail about A Place of My Own.
