There is so much helpful information there. I am glad also to be listening to it too, rather than reading it. It seems so personal that way. I will be purchasing the book though as a reference.Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642840871621979262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-19908367111152941332009-02-26T13:31:00.000-07:002009-02-26T13:31:00.000-07:00Definitely loved Animal, Vegeable, Miracle!

Another wonderful book by Kingsolver is Prodigal Summer. Just finished that.

Greg Mortensen's story is truly amazing - he truly makes you feel like part of a family in Pakistan, like you KNOW the people that he worked with the children he built schools for. Fabulous story. And Kingsolver's book is so inspiring! I"m determined to have a large garden this year because of this book and Michael Pollan's books. I recommend In Defense of Food and The Omnivore's Dilemma!jooleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664909712252718945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-18728290260913145662009-02-24T06:33:00.000-07:002009-02-24T06:33:00.000-07:00Three Cups of Tea is life-changing.

I read half, well more than half of Three Cups of Tea, I was so disappointed with the judgmental facts about Pakistan. I know the author does a lot of humanitarian work for the country but he talked about the country in the most negative view. He made the country as a whole seem all uncivilized and uneducated, while that's not the case.<BR/>PS I love your blog!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-53903708316199863202009-02-23T15:43:00.000-07:002009-02-23T15:43:00.000-07:00The Kingsolver book is the best book I've read in ...The Kingsolver book is the best book I've read in about three years.
