Overall Rating: 2/5
I was all hyped for this book but it turned out to be very boring. More frustratingly, I was left with a billion questions about the Mennonites and Amish so I may have to purchase some books on the topic. Maybe they will be more interesting. The writer was moderately engaging but it was still pretty meh. Perhaps the constant soul-searching is what bothered me? I really don't like to read homilies and that was I swear the entire last twenty pages.
I mentioned to Will that I was annoyed with the preachiness of the book and he's so taken to calling me a heathen (much like my mother). It's said almost with affection though, so I'll take it. In any case, it's much better than when he calls me 'baby'. Baby feels infantilizing and makes my skin crawl and I know he doesn't mean it that way but I hate it so damn much. Bruce suggested I beat the baby out of him but I think that's a little drastic. He's not a person who expresses emotion (or affection) really ever and I like affection from him so it seems like shutting him down over this relatively minor issue would be counterproductive. When he gets very whiskey drunk he calls me his darlin' and I much prefer that.
