We're trying to get some authors to do the same thing at our farmers' market. VERY cool!<br /><br />Kale for Sale - It'll post on Friday. I was so incredibly inspired! Sounds like an interesting read you have there...<br /><br />Green Bean - Definitely. That's one of my favs too!<br /><br />Alline - Ooh! I've not read any of those. Thanks for sharing. I'll add them to my list.<br /><br />JAM - let us know how you like them :)hmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424022504830645523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356966849272755180.post-5316741812254585422009-06-09T07:57:34.086-07:002009-06-09T07:57:34.086-07:00Oh, my favorite topic!
I am so NOT into "pos...Oh, my favorite topic!<br /><br />I am so NOT into "post-apocolyptic" fiction, but my two favorites seem to fit into that category. Please don't let that dissuade you from trying them!<br />1. "Into the Forest" by Jean Hegland. Descriptions (on Amazon) sound grim but it is lovely and thought-provoking.<br />2. "Fifth Sacred Thing" by Starhawk. I avoided this for years, considering it too "woo-woo/kumbya" for my taste. I'm SO GLAD I finally got over my narrow-mindedness; I found it inspirational and entertaining.<br /><br />Non-fiction:<br />"A Reasonable Life: Toward a Simpler, Secure, More Humane Existence" by Ferenc Mate. While he goes on the occasional rant, this book is filled with "a-ha!' moments.<br /><br />"Your MOney or YOur Life," while not specifically green, helped me get my finances in order so that I could live the way I truly wanted/needed to.<br /><br />Now, I'm going to go order 'How to Cook a Wolf" and "Green HOusekeeping." Thanks for the suggestions!Allinehttp://passiongreenbusiness.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356966849272755180.post-32553662356984110782009-06-08T22:40:16.205-07:002009-06-08T22:40:16.205-07:00Yay, Jam.

Otherwise, it's almost always the book I just finished reading - whichever one that is at the moment. How flighty of me. :)Green Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133847111288382381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356966849272755180.post-52399692134238588072009-06-08T22:21:30.626-07:002009-06-08T22:21:30.626-07:00I can't wait to hear about your gem of a book!...I can't wait to hear about your gem of a book! I'm reading MFK Fisher's How To Cook A Wolf. It's not green but is about cooking during the depression when fuel and often food were scarce. She gives a certain respect to the humblest of ingredients and meals that I enjoy.Kale for Salehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467378353738682141noreply@blogger.com
