I just finished my latest book.

WASTE
Uncovering the Global Food Scandal
Tristram Stuart

This was not an easy read. I have been reading and rereading for about 3 months now and still need to go back for reference. The book appealed to me because of my desire to live a more environmentally friendly/less impactful lifestyle. It captured me because he delivered his point without any feel of sensationalism and I couldn't discount one fact. I will not be circulating this book, and it will stay in my briefcase for quick reference. If you are a lover of feeding 1 billion hungry people, improving the quality of animals rights, a greener environment, then I reccommend this one!!

Edith Wharton........I adore have read all her books.....

also cant think of the author....she wrote Girl of the Limberlost..but if you have not read "The Harvester" omg do,,its a beautiful love story as well as giving you quite an education on herbal remedies and harvesting.. you can download the book for free on the guttenberg project. About the size of War and Peace but you wont mind a bit....I have read and re-read a few times over the past 15 years....

Fever-how rock 'n' roll transformed gender in america
Written by Tim Riley

This was an enjoyable read for me. Lots of facts about people, not just musicians, but people behind the scenes of music and their influence. I learned alot about female studio musicians that helped create sounds for early "girl bands".

This book ignited my hibernating love of Tina Turner. The reason for this is her true impact on feminism and the feminist movement in this country. For half a decade this most awesome woman has gifted us with a variety of female dynamics that helped pave the way for other women to come in and express themselves more freely. She had to be in the trenches and fought soo hard to be Tina Turner amongst misogynists and an abuser.

This is from 2008 peeps!!! 2008 and she still rocks!!!

I'm currently reading a couple of things. One is Texas Counter Culture which is about small town diners all across Texas.
The other is The Leisure Architect:Wayne McAllister. McAllister was an achitect who designed hotels, restaurants, casinos and other public spaces. Some of his projects were the original Big Boy restaurants, The Sands Hotel in Las Vegas and popular dinner houses in Hollywood. His first big job was the Agua Caliente racetrack, hotel and casino in Tijuana, Mexico. A good book with tons of pictures.

The Leisure Architect is an awesome book. I have referenced it when developing restaurant ideas.

I am putting the Texas Counter Culture on my list because that just looks like a fun read!! I love food/restaurant history.
