I first read this after college when my father gave it to me as a graduation gift. I almost didn't read it, but was very glad I did as it was very impactful on me, and I think helped shape me into the person I am today. I recently decided to re-read it after a meditation teacher was talking about it - and was glad to discover that it's just as relevant to my life now as it was before. It's a book I can easily see myself re-reading every 5-10 years. The book is a story about how to be mindful and live a happy, aware life - coached in the story of young Berkeley gymnast who meets an old man - who he names Socrates - at a gas station. Socrates becomes his coach and mentor - and teaches him that his goals in life were all wrong. If there is a motto of the book it's this quote, which I've had on my wall since I first read this book: "There are no ordinary moments!" The way of the peaceful warrior is to appreciate every moment, regardless of how dull or ordinary it may seem. To live in the now. Once you become aware of this, it's kind of amazing how much of our time we don't spend in the current moment - instead worrying about the past or the future. Our minds are swimming with the thoughts and worries of our lives, and we lack the easy ability to just be present. As Socrates said: My mind is like a pond without ripples. Your mind is full of waves because you feel separated from, and often threatened by, an unplanned, unwelcome occurrence. Your mind is like a pond into which someone has just dropped a boulder!" The best way to live in the present moment is to learn to meditate. Meditation teaches you to become aware when the mind wanders, and that awareness is a muscle that like all muscles, needs constant exercise or it becomes diminished. What I liked about the book was it discusses where meditation can go - and how one can be meditating constantly. In fact, it's not really meditation, but the art of focusing the mind that feels so good and fulfilling to us. This is why sports are so great - you are forced to focus your mind 100% on what you are doing, and distracting thoughts fade to the background. That ability to focus is calming, and appealing. I like how the book explains that using gymnastics. "Silence is the warrior’s art — and meditation is his sword. With it, you’ll cut through your illusions. But understand this: the sword’s usefulness depends upon the swordsman. If you don’t know how to use the weapon properly, it can become a dangerous, deluding, or useless tool. Meditation can initially help you to relax. You may put your ‘sword’ on display, proudly show it to friends. The gleam of this sword distracts many meditators until they abandon it to seek other esoteric techniques." But I liked how the book goes much deeper than meditation. There were cool bits about breathing properly, monitoring your internal organs, massage, having the mindset of a child, and eating healthily. "The pleasure from eating, Dan, is more than the taste of the food and the feeling of a full belly. Learn to enjoy the entire process — the hunger beforehand, the careful preparation, setting an attractive table, chewing, breathing, smelling, tasting, swallowing, and the feeling of lightness and energy after the meal. You can even enjoy the full and easy elimination of the food after it’s digested. When you pay attention to all elements of the process, you'll begin to appreciate simple meals." Highly recommended.

This is the sort of book that demands a second reading. I am still gripped in the dizzying intricacies of the intertwining family legacies and coiling generations, for the story isn't really about the people of Pluto, ND, but about the myriad lives and souls that have graced the earth throughout all of time. There is something of the epic in her story, even though it is set in a small and rather unremarkable town, and does not directly interfere with the history of our relatively young country. So much of the book stands as a metaphor for so much else. In a Faulkner-esque way, Erdrich employs the voices of several primary narrators to carry her story forward. Though some of the narrators seem to have only a bit part, and though some of their personal stories never seem to arrive at completeness, their different perspectives help the reader to piece together the puzzle of the past. We read knowing all the while that the town is dying, and the storytellers are dying. If we are going to get an answer to the mystery presented at the beginning of the story -- who killed five members of the Lochren family? everyone knows it wasn't the three Indians who were hanged for the crime -- it will have to happen soon. Erdrich makes us wait until the final pages of the novel to find out, and the secret nearly dies with the teller. The story ends with an overwhelming sense of the fragility of real history. Perhaps, though, even without resolution to the mystery the story would still retain its impact. Each character plays a role that seems to be determined by his/her part in a larger family narrative, and a larger town narrative beyond that. Their lives are inextricably linked, and the characters cannot help but follow the path they see before them (regardless of how aware or unaware of that path they may be). One hears in Erdrich's narrative an echo of the despondency and fatality of "One Hundred Years of Solitude," in which the characters' lives are no less entwined and predetermined. Perhaps this is Erdrich's perception of the human condition -- or perhaps this sort of thing only happens in small towns where everyone knows everyone else. Regardless, the message is compelling. On top of all this literary richness is Erdrich's elegant, breathtaking prose. Little attention is given to landscape or physical descriptions, but some of her short, clipped sentences more than compensate. "This deep thing had to do with the fiddle" (p. 202). "The dead of Pluto now outnumber the living" (p. 295). So much said in so few words -- a skill possessed by precious few writers. Even more compelling is her ability to shift narrative voice so adroitly. While this makes an initial reading somewhat jarring, Erdrich masterfully gives voice to characters of different ages, races, and generations, and brings to life the various inhabitants of her story. A first reading might be a bit confusion, but a second reading should reveal the depth of narrative and relationships that makes this book so much worth the read.
