He describes himself as a constant gardener, someone who's on gardening leave quite a lot.
And I have to say it is one of the funniest books that I've read in quant finance. I can't say it's the funniest because I did read My Life as a Quant from Emanuel Derman, but it's definitely up there.

Extremely well written.
