This is my second read, but the one that truly counts, since the book failed to leave a mark the first time round. (It's not the book, it's me). It's odd how a book can go from 1 to 5 stars on a re-read. I've loved all of Crace's other books, so I was quite puzzled that I couldn't get through Quarantine. I found it thick, dry, slow and hard to chew on the first time round -- the details kept getting lost. This second reading, coming as I am from editing a book that is somewhat similar in tone and approach, and with quite a few more years of mellowing on me... was much more rewarding. The desert-feel of the prose is entirely the point; it focuses attention on the details. Crace's Jesus is convincingly human; his is the sort of immortality a storyteller would put forward; that of story, and of transformative reception, and not the banality of special-effect miracles. But the heart of the book is humour, and wit, and terror, and the wily cunning in the design of Musa the merchant who is the lynchpin of the book, an unlikely Everyman, and a force with which we cannot sympathized and yet can not dismissively demonised. His brutality is and very human, as is his charm, and grotesqueness, his bewilderment in the face of the inexplicable, his instincts for survival and profit. The ending is genius: and feels authentic, unforced; without either confirming nor refuting the sense of the ineffable. This is a novel rooted in the flesh and the dust. Perhaps I needed those few years to come down to earth in order to appreciate it more.

Are you frustrated with the agrarian nostalgia implicit in the food movement? Are you worried as much about farm workers as you are about farmers? Does the organic movement strike you as elitist? Do you care about food deserts and wonder about the ways eating sustainability as become a marker of socio-economic status? Robert Gottlieb and Anupama Joshi have written the book for you. What is food justice? “The interpretations of food justice can be complex and nuanced, but the concept is simple and direct: justice for all in the food system, whether producers, farmworkers, processors, workers, eaters, or communities. Integral to food justice is also a respect for the systems that support how and where the food is grown – an ethic of place regarding the land, the air, the water, the plants, the animals, and the environment. The groups that embrace food justice vary in agendas, constituencies, and focus, but all share a commitment to the definition we originally provided: to achieve equity and fairness in relation to food system impacts and a different, more just, and sustainable way for food to be grown, produced, made accessible, and eaten” (223). The first half of the book offers a food justice framework for the problems facing our food supply. The first chapter looks at growing and producing food, the second at accessing food, and the third at consuming food. The forth chapter examples food politics from the farm bill to the school lunch counter while the fifth chapter considers the impact of neoliberal globalization. The second half of the book examines the struggles to achieve food justice. It looks at the solutions communities have already begun. What I particularly value about this section of the book is the way it integrates a food justice perspective into already existing threads of the food movement – rather than throwing out core concepts like slow food and local food. I also appreciated their attention to questions of gender in discussing an example of the complex relationship between women and food at domestic violence shelters. The chapters in the second half look at farms (including community gardens, immigrant farmers, urban farmers), new food routes (including farmers markets and CSAs), slow food & local food, local & national food initiatives, and a discussion of vision and direction for the “emerging movement.”

I got this book because it was listed as a recommendation for people who like retellings of, or new takes on classic fairy tales. I agree with the recommendation, and I liked many things about the book. It deals with what happens after the hero gets the title, the lands and the princess... "Happily Ever After" isn't always that simple. I liked how the simple country lad has to deal with the cutthroat politics of court, and 'his' princess, Gail, is a woman with a mind of her own. The plot is just enough classic fairy tale and just enough original story. It deals well with the complexity of emotional relationships between fathers and sons. About halfway through, I thought I might be giving it 5 stars. But I'm not. First, the book suffered from a heavy-handed and gratuitous injection of religion. (Basically, the message is: you might not need God when things are easy, but when the going gets tough, you'll need faith to get you through. Bleah to that.) However, although that was annoying, it wasn't too big a deal. My biggest complaint is: Stewart sets up a realistic and meaningful dilemma: Our Hero and the Princess love each other dearly. However, Our Hero wants a son, and to be a father. Gail, on the other hand, has no interest in children, wants to travel the world, be independent, and does NOT want to be a mother. So, how does Stewart deal with this problem? Um, Gail changes her mind. For no apparent reason. It's just like, at the end, "oh well, I guess having kids won't be so bad after all." Huge cop-out, and failure to meaningfully interact with an issue that is usually a dealbreaker in real relationships.

The Pig Who Sang to the Moon - Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson I really enjoyed this book. Definitely can recommend this author. He writes about something perhaps everyone knows intuitively, but so many are afraid to admit, animal have emotions and feelings and their own being.

Pretty good who-dun-it with some twists, involving doctors killing to harvest body parts to sell. But I figured it out way before the end so it only gets 3 stars.

It is amazing to read about the history of the Bible and what was sacrificed to get it into the hands of the common man. William Tyndale was a huge player in that drama.

I don't have this exact volume, but I didn't feel like doing all the searching. It was a Christmas present, but I did watch the show.

Wow, this book was so good, and to think I almost passed it over. You ever read a book that left you with a smile on your face? This is one of those. I loved the story. It was realistic. A book about life and romance that people can actually relate to. The suttle twists, turns, and surprises were fabulous. :sigh:, I'm just so content after reading this!

If you like Bill Bryson, you should check this one out. Its not near as funny as Bryson's books, but it still shows Steinbeck's dry sense of humor. Steinbeck and a photographer traveled to the Soviet Union in the 1940's to tell the story of the Russian people. He sees and writes about the devastation from WWII as well as life behind the iron curtain. This Russia certainly doesn't exist today, but its an insightful and unpoliticized look at the way life was for the average Russian in the late 40's. (The stories of catching flights actually make your appreciate our current miserable system of air travel.)
