Literally, the minute I finished it, I went on amazon to buy myself a hardback copy. It's that good.<br /><br />Side note: it's really hard to choose just ONE book recommendation. If you want more, you can always message me on facebook. ;)Juli Vnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-80936043792837882662013-11-20T09:07:55.791-08:002013-11-20T09:07:55.791-08:00two very different novels, both from a first perso...two very different novels, both from a first person perspective, and both historical in a sense. One is Gloryland by Shelton Johnson. It tells the story of one of the Buffalo Soldiers (a little told story anyway) and his journey from the deep south and ending as a ranger during the early days of Yosemite national park. <br />The second novel I first read almost 39 years ago and still think about sometimes - not so much for the writing but for the totally different perspective. It is Ecotopia by Ernest Callenbach. Its a short easy read but will leave you wondering "what if" my email is jkumar167@aol.com.Janet Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-19759535262951754792013-11-20T05:36:24.336-08:002013-11-20T05:36:24.336-08:00What a neat idea, both for the giveaway and for th...What a neat idea, both for the giveaway and for the way to enter it!<br /><br />I'd recommend <i>Harvest for Hope</i> by Jane Goodall -- but you may have already read that one, so I'd also recommend giving Goodall's <i>Reason for Hope</i> a try.looloolooweezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100008049805674675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-75318085314187048752013-11-20T00:59:52.125-08:002013-11-20T00:59:52.125-08:00I love food books but you've probably read the...I love food books but you've probably read the one I have.<br /><br />I really enjoyed reading Hiking the Continental Divide Trail.

It looks in brief at the history of each style, explaining how it got to where it is today, then provides recipe outlines for each style so that you know what to do to make that beer.<br /><br />It's more or less McGee on Beer :)Stuart Carterhttp://www.addictedtocanning.comnoreply@blogger.com
