Books

Even though I am in graduate school working towards at PhD, I try really hard to find time to read for pleasure. Mike and I don't have cable and don't watch a lot of television, though I am watching "Bones" Thursday nights on Fox. I like it. Otherwise, I don't watch tv very often. I just finished a book called "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro. Oh my goodness, it is very good and thought provoking, but quite sad as well. I really can't say much because it is difficult to describe without giving away a lot of information. They made a movie based on the book that came out last year, but I have yet to see it.

Melissa started me on a series by Diana Gabaldon usually called the Outlander series. It is fantastical, but a good read as the author is very good at researching what she is going to write about. I recommend it entirely.

While in Chile, I finished a book by Barbara Kingsolver called "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" about a year of eating locally. During the fresh veggie months, Mike and I buy our produce from a CSA (community sponsored agriculture). We really like it and have been exposed to different veggies that we hadn't had before. Like the delicata squash which is super yummy. This book is really good at informing the reader of the routes possible toward eating more locally, and organically if possible. I only wish I had the room to buy local meats.

Anyone have any good book ideas? I'm always on the lookout for good reads.

If you want to keep up to date with other Munds, be sure to subscribe on Google Reader or whatever reader you use to get your RSS feeds. I like Google reader because I use Gmail a lot for school. I think Yahoo has a reader option as well. Since you read the blog, you already have a google account and can get the reader very easily.
