I Hate to Leave This Beautiful Place by Howard NormanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Norman never claims this memoir to be anything interesting. Just a collection of essays about places he found beautiful, took solace in when the vissitudes of life got to him, or discovered something about himself. Most of these places involve birds, just FYI. Regardless, turns out Norman's life is fraught with interesting and unforgettable people and events. He may have gone about being a writer in a more convoluted way than most, but he has created a style that is engaging, lyrical, and precise. It is inspires the reader to discover life and capture it, one place at a time.
