Threads for critters, gardening, dinner, movies, etc. Does anyone read any more? What are you reading, do you recommend it, and why or why not?
My most recent read is Natasha Trethewey's "Beyond Katrina," a collection of poems and prose about the Mississippi gulf coast. I fell in love with her the first time I met her and heard her read, several years ago. In this work she confronts racism, urban development, and the way in which natural disasters reveal seams in our society. But she does so through observations about individual persons and their experiences. A very good read. |

Peg I am a huge fan of Bittman. His simplicity and minimal approach to food really appeals to me. I've got several of his books including that one!
Right now I'm reading: Teaming with Microbes: The Organic Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web Fascinating stuff! |

How To Cook Everything Vegetarian - Mark Bittman
A friend gifted me this book, and I am having such a good time reading it - especially sauces and salad dressings - two things I normally never make myself. This week on my carb day I am going to make Garlicky Mashed Potato Pie with Cheese |

Okay, ms leeza and for those who care: apparently Branden found another site with better choices for actors...
takoren .tripod. com /id8.html I love the choices of Sam Neill and Christopher Lloyd. People keep picking dark haired Perrins though. Yes they look wolffish, but I could've sworn Perrin was blonde and Mat Cauthon was dark haired. |

No I haven't heard anything regarding a movie. I wonder who could portray Thom Merillin or Gareth Byrne, or Lan for that matter...hmmmmm.
Yes I bought the whole series again on a book exchange site to which I belong, but I think it isn't necessary to go ALL the way back. I think about #7-8 is prolly just enough. :) |
