I Hate to Leave This Beautiful Place by Howard Norman
4.0
Beautiful, thoughtful writings and ruminations on Howard's strange and eventful life. At times, small portions of the book (a paragraph here, a sentence there) seemed a little too self-absorbed or cold (a lacking of an empathy I wanted to believe the author constantly embodied), and I felt less affinity for the author than I would've liked. But on the whole, it's well worth reading.
"I loved, as I have always loved, watching sanderlings hustle about and forage with their bills as if trying to stitch in place the wavering margin between tide and beach, a margin that soaks away with every wave."(I Hate to Leave This Beautiful Place, p.178)
