I love your concise summaries of the core concepts. (And thanks for the quotes too). I'll have to buy this book and leave it on my wife's nightstand. One of the things in our marriage that drives her nuts is I'm a "play it by ear" person. She likes causality, correspondence to her reality, predictability, and order. I kind of intuitively have regarded "the universe" and all the "fates" to be a playground (with Sister Mary Ellen Jude monitoring 90 kids alone), and move pretty freely from game to game and players and their rules etc. I've never gotten too thrown off or confounded when things don't go as planned, I just adapt and move on. Semper Gumby. I have no idea why my wife finds that maddening and unmanageable. HAHA! Great review! I look forward to the next!

I thoroughly enjoyed this review for a book not likely to have drifted across my horizon. Thanks Joel
