“How terribly sad it was that people are made in such a way that they get used to something as extraordinary as living."


This is one of the very few books I've ever read twice and look forward to reading (or listening to it) again and again. This book really takes you to another world and opens up new ways of thinking.

A boy, his father and a road trip -- looking for their mother/wife. There are books within books and a lot of philosophical detours.

I loved the mind-bending deviations and inventive stories and characters.
