The Treehouse

I'd like to share with you a book that I am currently reading. I found it by coincidence in a second-hand shop (or "op-shop", as they call them here in Australia).

It is The Treehouse by Naomi Wolf. Amazon currently has second-hand copies of it from $0.01 (plus shipping), so if you're looking for a good book full of practical philosophy, by all means get yourself a copy.

It is not a novel. The author describes her father's (who is 80 at the time of writing) philosophy on life, poetry, creativity, passion, discipline, and values -- while narrating her own story of how she renovates a ramshackled old house in America and builds a treehouse for her daughter.
