06/19/2000: This was my first experience with the genre of travel literature. Once I started, I could not put the book aside. For all the 'arm chair ' travelers out there, 'From Heaven Lake' is the perfect way to experience this part of China and Tibet. I thought the book was out of print and then discovered it at this web site. I read it nearly 10 years ago, and many of the experiences and images that Seth describes are still fresh and perfect in my memory. I will never forget the feeding of the eagles at the temple!
