A quick, fun read about a man who wants to get off the world because it's spinning too fast. It strikes me as one of those mad ideas you get when an idle comment sets off a visual image, in this case probably someone shouting, `stop the world, I want to get off!'  The beauty here is that Gould has actually written this whimsical little book that speaks to the part of ourselves that wants to get away from our crazy world. If you want something light yet poignant, something that makes you look at people and the world through a different lense, then this is a good one.  I recommend it for reading when you're waiting for a doctor, a dentist, a lawyer or for that girl to show up for your date, anything. It'll bring a smile to your face and a lightness to your heart.
