I tried reading this book towards the end of high school or just shortly after. I believe I was able to get three or four chapters in, but it never took off from there. I was also not a reader. Over the past year, this book caught my eye at the bookstore, and have heard it floating around in a few videos and lists, it was time to give it a try. This book is well written, but it is not the book for me. I made it through it all, but I did not have the experience millions of others have had. For me, Shop Class as Soulcraft by Matthew Crawford was a much more meaningful book.
