I don't know if you've already read it or not but it's about Kingsolver and her family's goal to live off the foods grown/produced by their farm in Virginia, as well as foods purchased at the local farmer's market, for one year. Kingsolver also shares recipies that she and her family made while they were living at the farm. I'm learning a lot about farming, as well as national and local food industries. If you enjoy healthy, local food I wholeheartedly recommend this book!!<br/><br/>I recently finished "Letters Home" by Sylvia Plath. "Letters Home" is a collection of letters that Sylvia wrote to her mother and brother throughout her life with commentary by her mother interspersed throughout the book. Reading the book felt like I was snooping through Sylvia's desk; as if I shouldnt't be doing it, yet the letters were so personal and intriguing I couldn't stop myself.<br/><br/>After I finish AVM, I'd like to read a book of poetry by Pablo Neruda. My roommate Emily introduced me to Neruda in college. He was a poet from Chile and the prose in his poems is both beautiful and moving.<br/><br/>I hope that if you read any of these books/poems you'll enjoy them as much as I did!
