Read this book. No really, you need to read it.

This has come close to blowing my mind. It is not nearly as dry as the title suggests.

I read most of the sample that is there. Is that representative of the rest of the book?
It sounds as though there may be some good ideas further into the book.
I can't relate to the moving out of a corporate job and onto the land at all, I was born on the land, so storys like that don't have such a great appeal to me. However, I'm always interested in good ideas, if only for their own sake.
