I am reading this.

You!!!!!

Oh, in my down time before bed I have been reading different topics in Back to Basics and Prarie Wives(faith based romance). Not my normal but I needed something light to distract me.

Starting "The Overton Window" this weekend.

Glenn Beck and I are pretty much opposites on the opinion scale, so i'm guessing that this book isn't about what i feel like it could be about, but this phrase from the Amazon blurb jumped out at me:

"She and her group of patriots have vowed to remember the past and fight for the future--but Noah [is] convinced they're just misguided conspiracy-theorists."

that could be us SSers! hehe

:/ I'm kinda creepy and actually enjoy reading true crime type books.

not exactly "true crime," but have you read Stieg Larsson's "Girl Who" series? it's all the rage right now. i just read the first one, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and thought it was pretty good, but a bit overly "graphic sexual crime-y" for my tastes.

I did see one of those Girl who - I can't remember the title, I'll look them up - thanks!

At the same time I started reading, "The Botany of Desire", by Michael Pollan. DD just finished reading it, so I am borrowing it. I saw the documentary and thought it would be interesting to read the book as well. I just haven't had that much time to read though.

keep us posted on what you think of The Botany of Desire. i'd like to know if it's as strong and compelling as Omnivore's Dilemma.

I am almost finished with "Bringing it to the Table" by Wendell Berry. Love it! DH & I have always kept horses off our list of animals that we will have on our farm because, as DH says, they are "hay burners." However, this book has made me rethink it if we used them for farm labor. Not sure how DH would feel about that since he's SOOOO excited about the tractor, bush hog, etc....

Berry is an amazing, thoughtful author, and it's much easier for me to accept his arguments about what was good about the "good old ways" of farming because he actually practices what he preaches.

they also provide a LOT of high quality manure for composting and adding to your garden!

but, if you get some, make sure you have enough pasture to rotate them. horses are particularly hard on pasture.

Starvation Heights by Gregg Olsen. It is a great creepy true story that happened here in my neck of the woods.

Ooh! I've read about that place, sounded really creepy!

I'm currently reading nothing. =\
Or if I was, I've forgotten what it is.

I just read the blurb and it actually doesn't sound as bad as you say, more women should take an active interest in their weight.
