Short and sweet. Deeper than it first seems - can be read on many levels.
I love the idea of the "door of decisions". Good thing to keep in mind!
Amazon:
A man went to knock at the king's door and said, Give me a boat. The king's house had many other doors, but this was the door for petitions. Since the king spent all his time sitting at the door for favors (favors being offered to the king, you understand), whenever he heard someone knocking at the door for petitions, he would pretend not to hear . . ." Why the petitioner required a boat, where he was bound for, and who volunteered to crew for him, the reader will discover in this delightful fable, a philosophic love story worthy of Swift or Voltaire.

Thanks for the wishlist book! It will go on the top of Mt. TBR!
Short quick read and a Nobel Prize winner. Just not cup of tea. It is now available.
Time to clear off the shelf and since I cannot find an active bookcrosser in the US searching for this book I will donate to The Goodwill Store.
