About book Come Diventare Un Esploratore Del Mondo. Museo Di Vita Tascabile (2011)
I wanted to like this so much - and I was so disappointed.I feel like the main idea is great, I find it true that great artists are often collectors!This all falls apart when we are supposed to go outside and bring home a lot of rocks and leaves. The behavior in this book sounds a lot like hoarding to me, and I think you would get some very weird looks if you are a twenty-something picking up every bit of trash you see.Sorry to be a negative nancy, I wish this had been more to my liking. I think Keri Smith is set out to make everyone a hoarder. Nah, I kid, I kid. Granted, this book involves A LOT of collecting of items but what it's mostly about is being more a part of the world. I've been realizing this a lot lately, looking at things that I wouldn't normally look at, looking at things, sounds, smells, experiences in ways I wouldn't normally look at them. It's about being more present and aware. If I can recommend this book to anyone it would be to fellow aspiring writers. To be a good writer I'm a firm believer that you have to be a good observer, taker in of your surroundings from the crack in the pavement to the reflection cast on an item. I really appreciated that from Keri and for bringing more light to this topic and awareness to the world. To truly benefit from this book you have to try the exercises. So I'm off to try some of them, which there are quite a few clever exercises in this little book! :) Also it's a quick read, I read it while at Barnes & Noble.
