Because ...I just picked up the Omnivore's Dilemma! Because everyone has been blogging about it, and when I read what it was about I could hardly wait - our relationship with food and how it is prepared. So that you loved it too (I think Eva did as well) - well come NOvember when RIP3 is done, I'll be reading this one. And I LOVE Persuasion, I'm so glad you liked it. None of the movies does it full justice. I love Anne and how everything comes right for her in the end because she stays true to herself, in the end. *sigh* I have that to reread by Christmas if I can...<BR/>yes, an amazing 6 books you read!!!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-37248015422982509132008-10-04T05:24:00.000-07:002008-10-04T05:24:00.000-07:00Hello, I love your intellectual side - the bookwor...Hello, I love your intellectual side - the bookworm in you. And, I'm so glad I am now able to explore the world of the bookworm I didn't have access to before. Don't knwo if I mentioned it but I came close to the pillars of the earth but I had planned to get Doestovsky's idiot and other russ lit. Once I step into a bookstore its almost like the really nice books are shouting "take me..take me". I think I will get that book since I share in the affection and enthusiasm, somehow. On completing the six, I guess it feels like you have broken down some major barriers, at least for me thats the feeling I get.<BR/><BR/>Also, teabird makes Botany of Desire seem as tempting as the adaptation movie starring Nicola Cage and M. Streep and I really hope this blog continues to live as long as there are books to read even if you have to transfer it to a different platform. Amazing!<BR/><BR/>_________<BR/><BR/>BTW: Have you read any of rushdies books? I am currently on SV and hope to see you on red eyes as the journey continues. Until we blog again.<BR/><BR/>_____________?https://www.blogger.com/profile/01992276117548193938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-17772009953786917552008-10-03T17:24:00.000-07:002008-10-03T17:24:00.000-07:00It sounds like you still had an amazing reading mo...It sounds like you still had an amazing reading month!

I promise I'll read it next. Maybe. I want to! lol. <BR/><BR/>Jane Austen was an acquired taste for me too. I think perhaps Cormac McCarthy is too, although for very different reasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-9343288933954245932008-10-03T11:36:00.000-07:002008-10-03T11:36:00.000-07:00Great reading month...so many good books!

I've got The Road on my TBR, and my father was just telling me how good Pillars of the Earth is.

It's one of the books that changed how I look at the modern food chain, and how I experience the supermarket -- and I'm a vegetarian!<BR/><BR/>I loved Botany of Desire, too, especially the chapter on marijuana. It made the plant seem much more intelligent than politicians.<BR/>(insert joke here)teabirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789062795176641187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-84794514559018045902008-10-03T05:45:00.000-07:002008-10-03T05:45:00.000-07:00The most significant thing I remember about Plains...The most significant thing I remember about Plainsong was that the characterization were amazing to me. The author KNOWS people and has clearly studied them like a sociologist would.<BR/><BR/>The only Cormac McCarthy I have read is No Country and I was blown away. I think I will read The Road this month.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
