I've had this book for years and it has been with me for so many moves, I felt obligated to read it. The premise of the book is interesting and I did enjoy parts of it. By the end, though, I was bored with it. It is in part a tedious reflection of one man's life, like reading his boring journal entry of whether or not he should retire. At its best, it dives into the history of Scotland and Wales, the possible historical significance of megalithic stones, and the story of their vacation. At its worst, it is repetitive and myopic.

author is a creep

For those who love to learn, avid absorbers of knowledge, philosophy and history... this book is for you and me!
