it was amazing

The most difficult book to read. And by difficult I mean that I really had to think. No mindless reading. The words are put together in a way that we (modern day Americans) aren't used to. This made it more difficult for me to anticipate the sentence which in turn made me have to re-read and focus more as I read.

Also, it is describing something that had never been fully described before. There are two different ways of having a relationship with everything in this world. I-You and I-It are the words for those two relationships. I-You is a subject-to-subject relationship and I-It is a subject-to-object relationship. For those of you familiar with C. Terry Warner, it could be described as being responsive and being resistant. Being in the box and out of the box. Great read and one that definitely has to be read more than once for full meaning to be grasped.
