具體描述
To save their marriage and their sanity, the author and his wife sold their belongings, packed up their two-year-old son, and moved to a rundown farmhouse in the country without any plans past surviving the year. Living as though it were the year 1900, they struggled with recalcitrant livestock, garden-destroying bugs, rain that would not come, and their own insecurities, to ultimately discover a sense of community and a sense of themselves that changed not only their marriage, but the entire Swoope, Virginia community. Lyrically told and powerfully evocative, this memoir for the modern age deals with the growing sense of disassociation and yearning to escape the frenetic pace of daily life in today’s society.

讀後感
在豆瓣里翻看着各种书评人的页面，突然就失去了方向，到底谁会愿意来看这本书呢。于是决定与其思考，不如就像这本书的作者一样行动吧，自己先写一篇自吹自擂一番再说。 作者罗根在写这本书之前还是一个杂志的记者，应该就是我们经常很羡慕的那种工作，可以免费去很多好看的地...
評分To B宝： 常听爸妈、外婆津津乐道地回想着从前，和乐的小区、淳朴可爱的街坊邻居，即使不富裕，但是每个人都乐于分享的年代。外婆说《幸福的三丁目》里的场景，就像她成长的童年，令我看了也向往能居住在那人情满满的小镇。 爸爸另外推荐相似的书《我们没疯，一起...
評分前两天看到一篇文章是《三联生活周刊》采访美国埃默里大学的英语教授马克 ·鲍尔莱，因为该教授写了一本书，名为《最愚蠢的一代》得罪了8700万美国年轻人。在采访中教授表示因为有了互联网年轻人几乎每时每刻都黏在一起，他们没有时间也没有机会独自一 人，读书、思考，或者和...
評分撇开《瓦尔登湖》不讨论，去年看到《普罗旺斯怎么走》这种潮女进村的故事还是挺乐呵的，不过此类书一多起来就完全吐槽不能了。 如果清穿剧走的算是“纵穿”路线，那么此书大概可以算是“横穿”。如果说它有什么亮点，那大概是作者和老婆约定的1900年这个点所带来的困扰：这家伙...
