Second Nature

Michael Pollan's Second Nature is enjoyable, as all his books are. I find myself agreeing with him mostly, but some things just don't sit well. I am still in the middle of it, so I will write more when I am done.

Update: I put it aside. I will probably get back to it at some point, but have been taken over by interest in monetary things...

Bleak House

I am slowly reading Bleak House by Charles Dickens. I really like it and like his style much more now than I did when I was younger, but it is a time-consuming book.

I will post more when I have finished.

Update: I did finish Bleak House a little while ago. I really enjoyed it - I have rarely or never encountered a book that took me so long to read that kept my interest. I can't believe how much I enjoyed his descriptions. His character development is also great. Seems cliche to say all this about Dickens, I guess. I was just kind of surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

5 out of 5 stars.

Gaia's Garden

Well, it has been way too long since I read much of anything. My office had a trial and it seemed to take over my life!

I have managed to read Gaia's Garden, by Toby Hemenway. Of course, it made me want to give it all up and become a farmer (though it seems that most things make me want to give it all up and become a farmer...). Very inspiring and lots of good information. I still think I need some help in overall garden design to make everything work well on my small lot, but he inspired me to make some small changes this year and see how the garden grows.
