Review # 1 was written on 2008-08-11 00:00:00 Lemur Lemurov I wanted to read more of Philip Lopate, his story Manhattan, Floating World, which really did a wonderful job depicting a place I have yet to travel but could now reference thanks to Lopate. One line in particular that I love and really encapsulates the story for me: "I love the ability of Manhattan's public spaces to absorb without a fuss a mix of classes, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations. For the moment, at least, everyone in the pedestrian swirl is assigned the same human value: You are either in my way or not." It's so well written I found myself trying to imagine what kind of effort it took on Lopate's writing to go through and sift through what to keep in, and what to omit from the reader. Terrific read.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-01-04 00:00:00 Max Strickland I really loved this book. It was sent to the Birmingham canoe Club and I reviewed it in our monthly newsletter. It speaks to whitewater paddlers about the rivers and forests that occupy their weekends. Great Book
