Short Trip to the Edge: Where Earth Meets Heaven -- A Pilgrimage by Scott Cairns

2.0

If you want a play by play account of a man's journey to a fascinating place, this is the book for you. I can picture in detail, the layout of Holy Mountain, all the services and characters and all his footsteps between them. There was very little introspection, or rather, whatever he learned from his trips was not really talked about in the book ("I learned a lot"). There were, still, lots of highlights that made me want to read more from the author. Perhaps his poetry and other work is less evasive.
