I just couldn't finish this book. Sure... there are some interesting facts about goats that I didn't know. But the author's writing style is extremely forced. He uses big words to make himself sound smarter and tries to tell stories in a way that makes his life sound dreamy, but it ends up just not flowing. And all the talk of pastoralism and ancient practices is starting to sound snobbish... and I can't stand it. So the end.
“A goat's anus would open like the aperture of a camera and produce perfectly round pellets, one by one.” Followed by the longest eye roll of all time. Enough said.
