Overdrive: A Personal Documentary

Whew! What a race. Compared to "Miles Gone By" this one is busy. Twenty years sure makes a difference.

Whether one agrees or disagrees with his politics, it is impossible to deny that WFB lives deep and sucks out all the marrow of life with an energy and drive that few can match. In Overdrive, we glance at his world - just a week - and his seemingly effortless juggling of enough activities to fill at least a half dozen lives: novelist, speaker/lecturer, magazine editor, non-fiction writer, concert harpsichordist, philanthropist, sea-faring sailor/adventurer, black belt grammarian, and bon vivant. Since he has yet to write a book on uber time management for the carpe diem crowd, those of us who would emulate his astonishing ability to fill life with extraordinary accomplishments and experiences must settle for this enjoyable book.
