Run Away and Join a Tribe!

Date of Review:  Jun 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: Read this and Quinn's other books, and you will be convinced there really are some who long for a return to the cave!!
Review: (This is a repost intended to support my musing about political rhetoric)

Mr. Quinn would have liked my brother-in-law. Fifty years ago he often told us of his idea of the good life ---a tarpaper shack in the woods, where he could hunt,...

Manual for Change?

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2000
Review: Daniel Quinn had intended this book as a "Manual of change" for those who have been inspired/outraged/changed by his other books (e.g. ishmael) But in this book of one page essays, He merely provokes thought. Before this book I never had any clue...
