"In all that space, under all that sky, there was no form of recklessness the homesteaders hadn’t already tried.  There was no mess that the wind couldn’t blow away."

Great book.  Looking for the GOOD life,  instead of having it, pretending that you do… kind of.  Pretending that things are ok because you like the idea of your life so much, rather than the actual life.

I could relate.
