I loved this book; Louis L'Amour was an extraordinary man, not because he could tell a good story, though he certainly could do that, but because he had a great thirst for knowledge and he spent his entire life on a quest to educate himself. His education came not from school, but from his life experiences and books. Wherever life took him, and he traveled all over the world as a seaman, he listened to the local people, he sought out their stories, and he sought out books, books that would tell him of people, of places, and of history.In this book he talks of that education and he tells of the many hundreds of books he read. He did not read because he had a school assignment he had to meet, he read because he had an inexhaustible desire for knowledge and understanding; he read for depth and breadth of understanding.This is the third book I've read this year where the author spent many years developing his education through a reading agenda outside of a traditional university course of study leading to a degree. The others are Nassim Nicholas Taleb, his book is Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, and Oliver DeMille, his books are A Thomas Jefferson Education: Teaching a Generation of Leaders for the Twenty-first Century, and The Coming Aristocracy. Each of these authors embarked on a course of study much broader and deeper than would ever be provided by a university course of study. I wish I had done this many years ago; I'm doing it now. These authors are seeking an education not job skills, and wisdom not credentialed favoritism. They promote becoming informed and developing the courage to act rather than complacency.
Lots of little nuggets of joy in here. I didn't know much about Louis L'Amour before reading this, afterwards, I don't know how much I know but I liked what I saw. I was a book addict but L'Amour puts me to shame. Like me growing up, he had a book in his pocket constantly and read whenever he stood still for two minuetes. Unlike me, he left home, had adventures, saw the world while doing it.That's the other fascinating thing about this book: it opens a window to a world that's gone for good. L'Amour actually met some of the men who tamed the West, he listened to him, absorbed their stories, saw the land. This book, and all his books, are a link to those times. I'm way to fond of my comfort to even try what he did, to live by my wits and from the strength of my back. But he did, he really lived his life.There isn't a lot about his private life, his loves, his emotional development. He just suddenly is married and has kids with no mention of the woman or how they met. There a number of strange voids here, but this one stands out considering how much a woman can teach a wandering man or a non-wandering one. But then, there's a midwestern prudishness that seems to be a part of his core, which is fine. Not everyone is a libertine or even wants to be one.A major part of the book is a discussion of what he read and what he thought about it. Trivia, sure, but interesting. It's not a bad booklist for any self-educated person. Got me interested in Livy, which I've added to my Kindle library (Technology is cool).Lots of little tidbits I enjoyed, like how to fight four men at once...something that came up in his early life more than once, it seems. Or what it's like to survey a mine or why you have to shoot rabbits or starve if you live off the contents of your garden. The details stand out, like little scenes that are self-contained and isloated.One thing, though the book is worth a read, it was published posthumously and with minimal edits, I suspect. So there are repeated phrases and thoughts and oftentimes there will be tangents that don't seem to serve any purpose. If the man had lived to revise and publish it himself, I'm sure it would come out differently.
I will say, honestly, that I am not familiar with this writer or the other books he's written. Amazon suggested this book and the reviews seemed promising. I must say that I really didn't care for the book. It had a few paragraphs worth highlighting and I did like the general premiss. It was inspiring to hear of a man's life, which was spent adrift in the world, traveling here and there. It gave inspiration to me to read much more than I do and really opened my mind to the importance of the written word, not just for education, but to tell the story of "us" and our lives and history. He made a point that touched deeply for me. My parents just passed away and in going through their stuff we unearthed some pictures of my great great great grandparents and even some land deeds from further back to the 1830's, to the first generation of my family that came to the united states. I found this material so interesting, but there is nothing of substance to tell me what these relatives were like or what their struggles were. Louis L'Amour touched on how important the written word is to us and our story and I can't agree more. My biggest criticism of this book is that the story of his life seem to be in random, rambling order and throughout the book there are paragraphs of what he read at the time. It gets a little old after a while...i mean we get it, you read everything, twice. So, as I said, it's a so-so book in my opinion but that's just me.
