Not only was I enchanted by the clever wordplay of this belated read, but it was astonishing to see my name used for a character! This book’s strongest contribution, though, is its ending: it teaches us of the adventures to be had in the everyday. I can’t think of another book with such profound and numerous perspectives on life, ones that are simultaneously both...
