What the Lotus Said: A Journey to Tibet and Back
unsatisfying: I was hooked by the jacket copy that said "if you ever wanted to go to Tibet, now's your chance" but was sorely disappointed. It is a thin book in every way, thin on substance, interest, detail, ideas. It's alternately pompous [... more]
