I am not of the “one book changed my life” tendency. Maybe I’ve become too cynical….ahem….skeptical. But I do believe there are works that compel you to try. I’m working my way through “The Matter of Things” by Iain McGilchirst. It’s not light reading, but if you give this book your attention and aren’t profoundly affected by it….I think you missed it.

The two volumes are ca 1500 pages. But I promise those many pages will grip you.
