City of Saints by Andrew Hunt.

Set in Salt Lake City in the 30s. A police procedural.
Really interesting to compare the resources available
in the 30s (not much) and the procedures they were
able to do (and can not do now).

I'm just finishing Song of Achilles and will be starting Anna Karinina next. After that I'm going to try and find a copy of Pontypool Changes Everything. I've been dying to read it for a while now.

I am looking to pick up The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom. It looks interesting.

I read The Time Keeper from cover to cover in an afternoon. I have to say that it was a simple yet thoughtful read. I'd recommend it.

Now on to the next. I just picked up, Eat That Frog! 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time

Book 1 of Game of Thrones!

I just finished "Food Rules" by Michael Pollan and am now reading his "The Omnivore's Dilemma." Very educational!! Next I look forward to reading Pollan's "In Defense of Food." I've watched his videos on YouTube and went out and bought the books.

The Stand by Stephen King

Lucky duck. Wish I could read the A Song of Ice and Fire series again for the first time. So many easter eggs and payoffs for an attentive reader. I've read them multiple times and still notice loads of things missed on previous reads.

Misti in Seattle: I loved Pollan's books. They really form the basis of how I eat today.

I'm reading A History of Ancient Britain by Neil Oliver -- much less dry than it sounds. It probably helps that it's a companion book to a BBC show, although I haven't seen the show.

Along with that, I'm reading a novel set in Britain when the Romans and Druids were cohabiting the island with only nominal peace. It's called The Forest House and is by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

if you're interested in other books related to the food industry, one that i really liked was tomatoland, by barry estabrook. and if you're interested in aquaculture, there's four fish,bu paul greenberg.

i'm currently reading nickel and dimed. it's about a woman who takes on some of the country's more labor-bearing jobs, describing her experiences.

Reflected In You - Sylvia Day (love a bit of mummy porn & soo much better than 50 Shades)
I have all the Harry Potter books on my Kindle so starting on them next.

polymertastic: I've heard good things about Tomatoland. You might like The Good Food Revolution by Will Allen. It's about how one guy is growing food in the urban environment with intensive food production including tilapia in a greenhouse.

Bec259: Reading all the Harry Potter books sounds like fun!

Sacre Bleu by Christopher Moore, and since it's around Xmas, I'll be re-reading his book: The Stupidest Angel.

I also picked up the Discovery of Witches series, which I hope is good! And the Nicholas Flamel: The Alchemist series..

There's a new sookie stackhouse in there somewhere, too, but those are just begrudingly read now since I've made the commitment with the rest of the series and the show..

Book Club
 

I just picked up Will Schwalbe's The End of Your Life Book Club.

I am now reading "In Defense of Food" by Michael Polland. gardenerjoy I also base a lot of my eating around his thinking... and people are commenting on my increased pep and improvement in my complexion!!! And I feel it too!!!

Thanks to all for the other book suggestions. I have also been looking at Steve Ettlinger's book "Twinkie: Deconstructed." Haven't read it yet. Just googled Tomatoland -- have to get to work so will look more into these later. Unfortunately I can't eat fish except tuna but there is probably a lot of good info in that one anyway

I finished The Forest House by Marion Zimmer Bradley. A good read -- one of those books that it's hard to know what to pick up next. I went with a middle grade novel called Ghost Knight by Cornelia Funke. It was fun. I haven't decided what I'm going to pick up next.
