Yikes. I had hoped that Hoff would grow in the ten years after [b:Tao of Pooh|48757|The Tao Of Pooh (The Wisdom Of Pooh)|Benjamin Hoff|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg|55188]. He did: he grew batshit.

Hoff starts with a good-old-days rant about Man living in Harmony with Nature and Spirits and whatnot before a Great Separation which caused deserts to form and violence and Confucianism. Tin foil hat territory. I had to reread parts of it to see if he really meant all that... and as best I can tell, he does. Maybe in the second half of the book he goes ha-ha just kidding. I don't plan to find out.

Piglet and his mafioso bodyguard wander through periodically. Then some ravings about news media and about the American educational system.

I give up. I don't want my experience of Winnie-the-Pooh soiled by paranoid ramblings.
