First, yes: "Catching the Big Fish: Meditation Consciousness and Creativity" is written by *the* David Lynch. The film director. The artist. The man who created the wacky characters and, perhaps, inspired some of their quirks in "Twin Peaks," "Blue Velvet," etc. That said, if you've seen or heard even (1) interview of Lynch over the past 30+ years, you know what you're getting into.

Lynch speaks, at times, with a cryptic simplicity that's all his own. The same goes for this book. I personally enjoy imagining him scribbling little notes to self on the fly or typing brief missives to the reader with paint doctored with organic bits still stuck to his fingers, though not everyone may share my affection for *the* man.

This is not exactly a how-to-guide to meditation but more a series of personal reflections and insights into what made Lynch take up meditation--though it does touch on what he believes its benefits are. Know that going into it and you'll enjoy the reading more. I give it 3-stars as a book, in general, and 5-stars as a Lynchian work. Thus, my average rating of 4 stars.
