About growing things on boats, this does not make me feel safe about flying, and a non-fiction graphic novel I'll be reading...
One of my favorite magazines is Mountain Gazette and I've been a reader for my entire adult life... Which, admittedly, dates both me and the magazine. I mention this because when I see in a press release or blurb for a book that an author has written for Mountain Gazette I'm pretty sure it is a book I'm going to want to read.
Case in point, "The Man Who Quit Money"...
"The Man Who Quit Money" is about a guy who walked away from his life savings...
OK, I'll admit, walking away from a life savings is something of a hook but not quite a slam dunk.
"In 2000, Daniel Suelo left his life savings-all thirty dollars of it-in a phone booth."
Yep, the fact that his life savings was a mere thirty dollars firmly set the hook... In my thinking, walking away from $30 is a lot harder than walking away from a fortune, as $30 is real money, your next meal, certainly more real than number on a bank statement.
Someone who walks away from it all and leaves it for some unsuspecting person who needs to make a phone call... Well now, that is someone I want to know more about.

So it goes...
