Today I received my long awaited cookbook.... Wildly Affordable Organic.

The author conceived the idea of the book when she accepted a challenge to live and eat well on the amount of money the government gives for food stamp benefits.

She found that its actually possible to eat well on under 5 dollars a day. And enjoy nourishing meals at that. All her tricks and secrets of success are in this wonderful book....

Currently reading Soccer vs the State: Tackling Football and Radical Politics

Just started it, but looks like it's going to be a good read.

Just finished Tina Fey's autobiography attempt, Bossypants. I recommend you don't bother reading it. I like Tina, love her comedy but her prose is so very pedestrian.

Just started the Rosie Project. Just a few pages in I know I'm going to love it.

I just started reading Walden....

I didnt know til I started reading it that this book has inspired world leaders...(Ghandi was mentioned). I have found life altering wisdom...and Im not even that far into it....
Thoreau says things that Ive thought and could never word so eloquently....the greatest of which... that we spend more time doing than just BEING....Im going to make a more concerted effort to just BE....

Royal Maladies: Inherited Diseases In The Ruling Houses of Europe. It traces hemophilia (a bleeding disorder) from Queen Victoria through her carrier daughters and into their sons, unfortunately who were heirs to the thrones of Russia and Spain, and close relatives to the German Kaiser. Then it traces porphyria (a metabolic disorder of the blood) from George III of England all the way back to Henry VI, whose bouts of madness led to the Wars of the Roses. The royal lines of Europe were already in bad shape due to marriages of close relatives, and diseases such as these weakened them further just as revolution came.
