I did a search for "Martin Dressler" and nothing came up. This book won the Pullitzer Prize and (more important to me) was an NYT Book Review editors pick. But I had never heard of it. Found it in a little book shop in a v. small town in Vermont. The book tells the story of Martin Dressler, who becomes very wealthy by building amazingly creative hotels/living spaces. For example, a many storied building with a forest and lake several stories underground for people to go camping, if they wish, or one floor with rock walls that contain caves for living in--all quite comfortably furnished.

Book was good, but also quite strange. Did anyone else read it--what did you think of it?
