I think it was Shakespeare who said something about expectations and heartache. I was SO looking forward to reading this book. I bought it in the perfect place (Powell's Books in Portland) in a perfect mood (thrilled to be visiting PSU with my girl). When I saw it on the shelf, I marveled at my luck and snatched it up. You see, I have an escape plan from the current financial ties that bind me, so anyone who "quit" money had my full attention. I couldn't wait to dig in and get some solid tips to help me with my future transition. 

Disappointment hit the moment I found out I was reading a biography about a guy who lived in a cave. While I admire Daniel for his beliefs (most of which I wholeheartedly agree with) and his conviction, the whole cave thing was WAY to hard core for me. When I turned the last page, I wasn't any wiser as to how I, a "regular" non-cave dwelling person, could leave capitalism behind. I do, however, appreciate knowing there may be more people like me out there than I had previously thought.
