Thank you for all your sharing Steve!

Thank you so much!

Highly recommend it.

The author is @toomuchtalk of course.

Also as said above, it is beautifully written and if I didn't know better would have said a professional ghost writer had been employed, obviously another career beckons as a writer in addition to his other talents.
All the best Steve.

PS. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

wow! Took three years to write! thanks

[toomuchtalk]

Cant believe the thread is still going!

Thank you all, and especially if you've read the book,

Nice thread, just read the whole thing, and interesting. Love seeing your compilations of the collection around a map. Then again, harder to find maps these days. Ordering the book.

realize i've been in a non-reading (besides internet research type stuff) funk for a few years now
really do miss hunkering down with a good book, so hopefully this breaks the vicious cycle i've been in

It's funny you mentioned rereading the thread. I have been considering going back through the entire story again. It took me a while the first time, but it was worth it.

The book is also a great read. I recommend it to all.

Hi Steve,
Thanks but I already bought a copy on Amazon. I wish I wasn't so quick with the buy button .

I haven't had a chance to read it yet but will. I have to finish one I'm on and another I borrowed and I'm a slow reader who frequently puts books down for a week so I end up rereading a lot to understand where I am .

I just finished your book, Steve, today on New Year’s Day. I was honored to read it, took my time, and am grateful that you shared a piece of yours and Kathryn’s life with us. Having come upon this thread a few years ago for the first time, reading about your journey outside of watches was truly humbling.
Cheers, Jason.
