This book took a while longer. It's the kind of book that shifts your mind in gentle ways with each sentence you read. I usually take a break after every chapter, hoping their lessons sink in that day.

Reminders in an ever abstracting world to not only look forward, but back, and around us. Our teachers have come before, and are here right now. Nature, expressed in forgotten poetry—captivating stories only if we listen.

It's a lovely book.

A really fun casual read. Gaiman has a way with language. It's a solid 3.9 stars for me though - doesn't reach the transcendental heights of his other stories.

Riveting read. I didn't expect to but I devoured it in one day.

As I closed the book I found myself in tears.

So glad I finally got round to reading this. Bourdain describes the kitchen and chef's life with a great amount of insight and verve in language - so riveting you realise how amazing real life can be.
