## Summary ##

Encyclopedic breadth of content, diving deeply into nothing.

## Why I picked it up ##

My bookclub wanted to read it.

## What I liked ##

Holy moly this is beautiful book. The binding, the print, the everything. I haven't been this much in love with the physical form of a book since... hmmm, since I found that copy of Moby Dick with the leather binding and the gilded edges.

## What I didn't like ##

One of those books that is a printed out series of blog posts. You can literally find the full text of the book online by browsing through the author's site.

This book does better at this than most: the blog posts are coherent and easily organized into groups and chapters. But I can't help but wonder whether the book's lack of depth comes directly from this method of book writing.
