"No place where there is life is a desert except to man."
"Tales of Adam" is the latest offering of author Daniel Quinn. At only 90 pages, 20 or so which are illustrated, it's his shortest work yet (I read the entirety of the book on a 50-minute ferry ride to Seattle). Unlike previous works of Quinn, "Tales of Adam" doesn't offer us any new teachings nor does it challenge us to think differently or analyze our current way of living as takers. Just like the number of pages, this book comes up short. I recommend reading this book only after you have read "Ishmael," "My Ishmael," and the "Story of B."

Dear Jessie,
I see that you've read some of Daniel Quinn's work. I'm a big fan of Ishmael. And I wanted to suggest that if you're ever interested in seeking out other "like-minded Ishmael readers" please feel free to visit IshCon. www.ishcon.org
take care,
Curt
