Nick Offerman · 2021
A travel memoir about outdoor life and American national parks.
Cal Newport notes that it is uneven, featuring fantastic Twain-style storytelling alongside simplistic political commentary.
A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.
“Where the Deer and the Antelope Play. This is the latest book by Nick Offerman, the actor you probably know from Parks and Recreation.”
Why: Uneven; some parts have fantastic Twain-style storytelling, though the political commentary feels simplistic.
