A Place of My Own

I really wanted to like this book. I have spent time learning about cabins and love the premise. Sadly, I did not enjoy the writing very much and there was a lot more information about architecture than I expected (for better or worse).

I love Pollan's writing style. While I'll admit to feeling a bit tricked by the synopsis (spoiler: he doesn't build the place truly on his own), in the end, the book got me thinking about aspects of place and space that I rarely do.
