Thursday, July 20, 2006 - Book Review: Writings of a Deliberate Agrarian |
I just finished reading my new book, Writings of a Deliberate Agrarian: One Man's Ruminations About Faith, Family, and Livin' The Good Life,
by Herrick Kimball. It's strange for me to think that most of modern
society would skim through this book and say "...huh?" People today
don't understand about "The Good Life". What Mr. Kimball wrote in his
book resonated with me, though.
It was fun reading about everday life for Mr. Kimball and his family,
and why they do things the way they do. I liked the quotes that finish
off each chapter. And I especially enjoyed reading about Marlene (Mrs.
Kimball) ripping off a chicken head with her bare hands while her men
cheered her on. Hey, what can I say, I can relate.
Mr. Kimball's philosophizing in this book made sense, and wasn't so
deep and lengthy that he lost my attention. Not too big, not too small,
but just right (I thought). And even though this is a very manly book, ladies will enjoy reading it too.
I'm thrilled to have this book on my bookshelf. I hope you all get a chance to read it too.
Blessings!
Amey
