[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Dirty-Life-Memoir-Farming-Food/dp/1416551611"]The Dirty Life: A Memoir of Farming, Food, and Love[/ame]
by Kristin Kimball It almost started out like a romance novel, but thank goodness it went beyond that and I'm currently learning more about farm implements and the milking process than I ever thought possible. So far it's quite inspirational; the tenacity of people united with a dream. |

I am still reading Eat, Pray, Love. Its taking me a long time... I just can't seem to stay focused on getting through it, even though I am really enjoying it.

The Slow Fix by Ivan Coyote
Ivan Coyote is a great short story writer/storyteller who has inspired me beyond belief... which is funny because we are very different people. Ze likes country life, is a storyteller, and socializes with more close minded people than I could ever bear... Still zirs writing inspires me in the erotica and erotic poems I've been working on.:typewriter: |

This Time I Dance! By Tama J. Kieves.
It is about the passion inside in expressing it to the world in what one does as in purpose. |
Quote:
Just started the Bryson today but always enjoy his wonderfully understated, wry style of writing. Shakespeare on Toast (non fiction) is wonderful thus far; I'm about two thirds through; It's made me laugh out loud and imparted new knowledge too...bonus! Not finished it but highly recommend to those who like language, literature, Shakespeare and theatre study. Recovery's a Bitch was not what I expected sadly mainly because I was a numpty and didn't read the Amazon synopsis, just went on the title alone. Doh! However, it's funny, hilarious in parts and I'm glad I got it...it's very much a 'dipper' though. The author is a woman who was dealing with her daughter's addictions and destructive behaviours concurrently with her own menopausal symptoms. I had been looking for info about dealing with man-o-pause in recovery Living Clean is the newly approved NA book and it's awesome! I could critique how it's written but won't, just because in this context, it wouldn't be helpful. Not finished it yet; enjoying reading it in chunks along with others at the meeting I currently chair. Everyone is loving reading/hearing it because it's not something we've already heard endlessly - although sometimes, endlessly is what it takes :| The Etymologicon is another dipper; A bathroom book if you will :winky: It is, as you might imagine, a book about where words come from. There's much more to it than that though. If you like words, etymology and language you might really enjoy this book. Not read enough to critque properly yet. |
Next on my list is Chicken Soup for the traveler's soul
