Wild Fruits: Thoreau's Rediscovered Last Manuscript13 reviews
Henry David Thoreau

W. W. Norton & Company, 1999

The Everyday Observations of a Naturalist
What could be more pedestrian than the fruits (talking broadly) of plants - such fruits that include grains of wheat, hips of wild roses, apples, blueberries, etc. We may enjoy some of them as taste treats, but most of us ignore the everyday development of fruit from flower. The flowers are more noticed, except for some ornamental types like hollies. Yet the fruit and/or seeds of plants are ... 		  
  







  
  
My Last Sigh13 reviews
Luis Bunuel

University of Minnesota Press, 2003

A beautiful little book
Bunuel gave some interviews towards the end of his life discussing his long list of movies. That's why I was delighted to find that his autobiography--which is one of the greatest, if not the greatest by a filmmaker--does not dwell on them. Instead Don Luis chronicles his childhood and upbringing, the relationships he cultivated, and meditates on life, love, death, art, alcohol and cigarettes. ... 		  
  







  
  
Families Like Mine: Children of Gay Parents Tell It Like It Is17 reviews
Abigail Garner, 2005

More than an invaluable resource
This book is a heartwarming panorama of the viewpoints and experiences of kids with gay parents. I am the adult daughter of gay fathers, and as I grew up I did not really have the luxury of knowing there were others like me. That I was a grown and married woman before I discovered this does not detract from the immense value of the lesson. When I received this book, I read it from cover to ... 		  
  







  
  
Back to Basics: A Complete Guide to Traditional Skills, Third Edition71 reviews

Skyhorse Publishing, 2008

I will now retreat from civilization
One of my top ten books. I am an avid outdoorsman and believe in being prepared(Boy Scout Motto) to take care of one's self "off the grid". This book might as well be my bible. It does skim a little on some subjects but on the whole it gives a thorough enough explanation of all the skills one would need to scout out, build, propagate, and flourish on a frontier farm. Excellent illustrations to ...

As was typical of statesmen of that day, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams ... 		  
  







  
  
Caught Running16 reviews

Dreamspinner Press, 2007

A winner to me!
I have been reading m/m romance/erotica for about a year now, starting with fan fiction and moving up to original character, for-pay stories in the last few months. Gobbling up what I can find, I admit that much of what I have purchased has been worse than some of the worst free fan fiction (and in some cases, the free stuff is amazingly more well-written and developed). I have been terribly ...

Abigail Johnson Dodge

W. W. Norton & Company, 2004

Well Used
I was working on a project that required multiple baked goods. In my search for a variety, I checked out several baking books from the library. Once my project ended, I had fallen in love with only one book and discovered I had to have the book for my own personal use. That book was, "The Weekend Baker" by Abigail Johnson Dodge. Now, I'll be honest there are 3 things that I think you should ...

My Dearest Friend~Letters from John Adams to his wife Abbigail
If you are a history buff or just a little interested in the history of our nation you will love this book. The letters exchanged between John and Abigail Adams are wonderful. Abigail was definitely John's rock. She kept him focused and steady. John was a very passionate man in his beliefs and at times would become a tyrant trying to convince people that his way of thnking was the only way to ...

Enchanted Runner (An Avon Camelot Book) (An Avon Camelot Book)8 reviews
Kimberley Griffiths Little

Camelot, 2007

Read it, then share it with your kids!
I'm 41-years-old and normally would not read a book targeted for the 9 to 12-year-old age group. But after reading Ms. Liitle's first book, BREAKAWAY, there was no way I'd pass up her second book. And I wasn't disappointed. ENCHANTED RUNNER was awesome! The research that went into the story is probably more than found in most adult novels. I was blown away by what I learned about the Acoma ...

The Williams-Sonoma Collection: Dessert10 reviews
Abigail Johnson Dodge

Free Press, 2002

Anyone Can Come Off Like A 5 Star Pastry Chef....
Most of the recipes in this book are suitable for bakers of any level. What makes this book a standout, is the fact that even the simplest recipes look expensive and difficult, when complete. For example: The Poached Pears With Raspberry Coulis, is simple. It looks like a million bucks when properly plated, though. My boyfriend made the Lemon Curd Squares in the middle of the night. He ...

Fred Bodsworth

Counterpoint, 1995

A Haunting Classic ....
Bodsworth is brilliant in his capacity to provide the reader with an emotionally arrousing text, supported by fascinating technical details of bird migration. I cannot imagine that anyone having even a remote interest in birds, nature or life, would not be moved by this great piece.
