    The Road Less Traveled

    I just wanted to post that I have a crush on the BWC. There I said it.

    Also, have any of you read The Road Less Traveled? Looking at your shelves I don't see it anywhere, but given the amount of overlap with many of you I was somewhat surprised.

    Greatest book I've ever read. Shaped me in more ways than I probably understand. Each time I read it it makes more sense and gives me more ways to grow. Some of the greatness comes from the fact that I was introduced to it at the very best possible time (a confusing low of all lows), but it has also been an amazing re-read at random times.

    Just curious for opinions if they are out there. Absolute classic.

    Aaron, thanks for the kind words. I have a crush on you, personally, but in a very non-sexual way. I'm not sure about the rest of Burnside.

    What's the deal with this book? Can you provide a synopsis?

      Jordan, if my reply was sent to you via e-mail and you could copy/paste I would really appreciate it. I was going to re-post the reply after fixing the typo in the first sentence and somehow lost it. Thanks.

    I joined this group just so I could tell you I've read The Road Less Traveled. It was really the thing in the 1980's among folks in 12 step groups. I read it before I was a Christian, so I wasn't too impressed with Peck's next book, People of the Lie. Maybe I'll revisit it.
