Katka Pot katkapot — An unexpected sewer backup this winter resulted in a giant hole in our front yard. Rather than simply re-seed the lawn, I thought I’d explore some other options for landscaping the front yard and avoid the need to push the mower up the incline this season. Among other books I particularly enjoyed Fritz Haeg’s “Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn.” Edible Estates is part art project, part social experiment, part environmental activism. Haeg embarked on the endeavor of transforming front yards from expanses of grass into productive vegetable gardens. This book documents his project in three prototype gardens in varying U.S. hardiness zones in photographs, e-mail excerpts, diagrams, and blog posts. The book opens with a series of essays ranging from the history of the American Lawn (think Jefferson’s Monticello) to front lawn gardening with children. Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food), contributes his thoughts on his conversion from mowing that began with apple, peach, cherry and plum trees. Haeg is quick to point out the irony of spreading fertilizer and pesticide and dousing it with clean water in order to grow green grass only to cut it to within ½ inch of death and do it all over again, all the while contaminating the water sources and emitting carbon at preposterous rates. Contrary to Haeg’s expectation that neighbors might complain about yards that don’t conform to the standard acceptable norm, the Edible Estates drew people together, provoking conversation and developing community. I’d encourage you to pick up the book and give it a look. You might be surprised by what you find. While our front yard isn’t likely to feed our family for the year, perhaps if you stroll along Graceland St. NE sometime this summer we can enjoy each other’s company over fresh strawberries at the front stoop.

Sandra Franko sandrushydfaa — Unless you are particularly interested in Smith College, I would skip this book. I found both the writing and the plot to be quite unsophisticated.

Wang Amber _ — China is cool and has a lot of amazing old history. The author of this book is a bit arrogant sounding. His writing is interesting; making the book read quickly.

William Wan takekong — Even the worst Dickens is so much better than the best of most other authors, that you just can't go wrong with one of his books. While not quite as majestic as my favorite (Tale of Two Cities), this book still has plenty to recommend it.

Adriana Vanessa adrilanegrb866 — "A Distant Episode" is one of the most amazing (and effed up!) stories I've (possibly ever) read. Like all of his work: vivid, surreal, menacing, and utterly capitivating.
