Jaed Coffin Reading

Today's reading with Jaed Coffin was very interesting. I really wish i had known more about him and the book before i read the excerpt for class because i was kinda confused as to what it was about. I mean obviously i understood he was in Thailand with a monk but i didn't really get why or what he was expecting to gain from it. I bought the book today though after the seminar, i really like the way he writes and i think the excerpt was really interesting and I'm sure the rest of the book will be too. I immensely enjoyed the preface to his new book about the fighting ring in Alaska and will definitely be buying that when it comes out! The essay about his mom was really good too. It was interesting to hear about the differences in culture, and how even though Jaed was involved in Thai culture, there were still some big differences between him and his mom. So I'm very glad we went to the reading today and hope to hear more from Jaed in the future!
