Greenhorns by Paula Manalo

Synopsis:

A community of more than 5000 young farmers and activists, the Greenhorns are committed to producing and advocating for food grown with vision and respect for the earth. This book, edited by three of the group's leading members, comprises 50 original essays by new farmers who write about their experiences in the field from a wide range of angles, both practical and inspirational. Funny, sad, serious, and light-hearted, these essays touch on everything from financing and machinery to family, community building, and social change.

Very interesting book about novice farmers who, for the most part, have no previous or familial background in farming. They learn by trial and error and the generous help of their community.

The Adventures of Henry Thoreau by Michael Sims

It's basically a biography about H.D. Thoreau's childhood. I found the first chapter very choppy and disjointed. But I kept reading and it's as though the author either 1. had the first chapter written by someone else or 2. finally got a compass and found his way.

I've only just begun, but it is very interesting to see what fueled the fire of this man.

"Children and Household Tales or Grimm's Fairy Tales Volume 1" by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
These are the real, bloody, scary tales not the sweetened up watered down Disney versions.
I am loving them although some are disturbing.
