Read it about a month and a half ago, really got into it. Well worth adding to your collection. Just in case anyone wanted to know…yeah, it’s a great book.

It had a woman in a pomegranate tree, I think she was hanging upside down. I can't seem to find it though. Is there a list of all the "big idea" books somewhere?

Is there a list of all the “big idea” books somewhere?

My wife's late uncle ranched longhorn cattle in Texas. They had to (at the time) buy big ole US made pickups. Because the little Toyota and Datsun (at the time) pickups were seen as "prey animal" sized - not for eating, but something to be beaten up and driven away. Not so with the GMC and Ford pickups. The current Tundra's big enough, but you have to admire cattle large enough to feel up to driving away potential competitor vehicles. Hah.

I enjoy learning about new books, but I'm most intrigued by the insights into the writing process as shared by the featured authors. Cows. Go figure. Thanks for the “Big Idea” series.
