Summer Holiday Reading

I don't know about you, but this week between Christmas and New Year, is one of my favorite times for reading. I'm not a big novel reader, it's usually all things food that attract my interest. I'm particularly interested in food politics and it's great brain food - especially at this time of the year.  I'm keeping this post short and sweet - the following are fabulous books - some serious reading, but what we really should be hearing about. If you want something a little lighter - start with #4. If you want to go straight to the heart - go for #3.
Wishing you happy reading and a deeply joyful new year, with many blessings - x jude

  1. Anything by Michael Pollan - obviously, The Omnivore's Dilemma, but have you read his earlier book - The Botany of Desire?  (2002)
  2. Stuffed and Starved - Raj Patel. Black Inc., 2007
  3. The End of Food - Paul Roberts Houghton Mifflin 2008 
  4. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle - Barbara Kingsolver.
  5. Fruitless Fall: The Collapse of the Honey Bee and the Coming Agricultural Crisis - Rowan Jacobson. (2008)

    That's a good list of reads. I haven't read #3, so I'm just curious---why do you say it goes straight to the heart?
