In the midst of

I'm in the midst of reading two books at the moment while waiting for my next two graphic novels in the Fable series to come in, yes I am a dork, I know. First is Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. It's the true story of how her and her family took themselves off the commercial food grid for a year. It's amazing, disturbing and enlightening. It makes you want to eat locally and organically, but it also makes me realize that with absolutely no cooking skills whatsoever, it will be a difficult task for me. I need to find a boy that cooks.

Second is Final Exits by Michael Largo. I found it on Bookcellar's website and it is fantastic. Basically it is an encyclopedia of the ways in which we die. And it's illustrated. I just finished Apple Cider (182,904 E. coli deaths since 1930, and in 1996, E. coli from unpasteurized apple cider killed 34 people), next up is Appliances.

I also just rediscovered the joy of Green Day's music. Old school style with the Dookie album. So far Sassafras Roots is my favorite.
