I picked up that book a few years back - expecting something completely different from the title 
- read the blurb and said fuck it, I’ll buy it anyway. It’s a masterpiece, one of the best books I’ve read, even though everything about it suggests it shouldn’t be.
I started it at about 3pm and pretty much read it in a sitting. I’ve not done that for a long time.
Ok I am sold on it
I’m halfway through reading this on audible. It is absolutely fascinating. The author reads it himself and he’s affable, objective yet enthusiastic. Silicon Valley, the CIA , Al Hubbard, the grateful dead’s roadie/chemist etc etc. It’s a great trip:

Definitely four. I’m hmm’n and haww’n about another five or so!
Just finished “The Salt Path”. Reasonable bit of travel writing with some new age stuff thrown in for dimwits. If it was posted on here, @Bandage would rapidly reply with TNH as there’s a strong suspicion of embellishment throughout, but if the bones of the story are true its a poignant read. Cleverly and successfully aimed at the Good Housekeeping set.

One definitely
Finished it just there myself. Hadn’t read any of his books before. Was a bit unconvinced half-way through, but the third character won me over. Decent book all told.
Excellent book but his weakest yet for me
Which of his would you recommend? I’d probably read another if that’s the weakest.
Read them all, his collection of short stories (Slanting of the sun) is excellent, the novel about the traveler girl (All we shall know) is a masterpiece,
The first two (Spinning heart and the thing about December) are equally good, the guy is something else
