All trying to look different in the same way

I piss on you all from a considerable height.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book. But, there were some times that I really had to force myself to read it. I definitely had trouble getting into it at first. It was recommended by a friend, and not something I think I would typically have picked off a shelf. Once I started getting more into the characters, particularly Hayduke, I was a lot more excited to read it. 

It made me curious about geodesic dome homes and the Glen Canyon Dam, and definitely encouraged some wikipedia time. I feel like I actually learned some interesting stuff from this book, unlike a lot of fiction. It was also cool to read about the state I live in (Utah) and got me longing for a desert trip. 

Overall an enjoyable read.

A classic, of course. More relevant than ever in today's topsy turvy political world.

Four irate rebels join forces to wage war on the stripminers, clear-cutters, and the highway and dam and bridge builders who are turning their natural habitat into a wasteland. A new Introduction by historian Brinkley puts this enduring cult classic in perspective by placing it at the forefront of an important historical movement.
