[.ca] Compost College: Life on a Counter-Culture Commune (ISBN 0915685108)

Terrific insight into the commune lifestyle:
The book starts a little slow in the middle of the story and works its way to the begining and end. Stay with it and you will be rewarded with a clear understanding of what a life in the commune was really like.

Some deft prose from the counterculture:
This is a well-written chronicle of the starts, stops, misfires and joy of a radical experiment in education. I enjoyed the contrast between the introduction, written at the time of publication, and the book itself, taken from journals written nearly thirty years ago. While the hair may have grayed, the zeal has not flagged. I enjoyed the hell out of it.
