It was a little book I found in Barnes & Nobles at least 5 years ago. It was right next to Johathan Liv Seagul because the author's name was very close alphabetically to Richard Bach.. and the writing was ALSO very close as well.
The author describes giving up a lucrative profession in advertising (as i remember) to live as a sort of "beach bum" . But he's really no bum at all.. he's thoughtful,poetic: beautiful writing. He talks about how difficult it is to actually live with all this time on your hands. I guess he must have had money because his little house was on the beach somewhere. Each small chapter had a moral to it. In one chapter he talks about reaching an area that belongs to the military, and was gated off, with a no trespassing sign. So he starts talking about using beautiful spaces like this for such ugly purposes.
A gorgeous book. Does anyone remember it ? Can't think of the author or the title.
