A story about "Harvest for Hope: A Guide to Mindful Eating"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Lovelemonade08) — Mon, 04 May 2009 18:56:34 GMT

Harvest for Hope: A Guide to Mindful Eating

by Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall presents a fairly convincing argument for healthier eating and life styles through her book Harvest for Hope: A Guide to Mindful Eating. The book is very easy to read and is great for people with little or no experience in the political world of agriculture. The only reservations that I have about this book are the few undeveloped (and often indirectly related) ideas that she interpolates an otherwise good text with. Also, I feel that many of the subjects were glossed over and not given proper coverage. This is certainly a book with a point of persuasion: Both sides of the arguments concerning food are not documented here.

As I said previously, however, this is a good book for beginners, new to the subject of the politics within food as well as food knowledge in general. Goodall presents an easy read for her platform here.

A story about "Blankets"

Blankets

by Craig Thompson

I found this story to be much more poignant than I thought that it would be. The artwork took it from being melodramatic to something that I could relate to. I appreciated the honesty, especially in regards to the religious aspects that pervaded the book. Thompson restated a feeling that I have all too often about how so many Christians are ruining Christianity.

I am not sure, however, of if this book transitions ages well. I believe it may be more of a Catcher in the Rye experience, where you have to read it by a certain age or it is lost to you.

I stayed up until two in the morning to finish this book.

A story about "I Am America (And So Can You!)"

I Am America (And So Can You!)

by Stephen Colbert

I really like the show, but I suppose that I respond more to the facial expressions and physical comedy, because I really didn’t find this book all that entertaining. I got a few chuckles out of it, but not much else. I’d rather watch the show than read this by far.
