August Articles
A few articles online today:
The Slippery Slope of Simultaneous Submissions - for writers.
Book Review of Animal Vegetable Miracle - scroll down (my review is a short 150-worder - for a more in-depth view, check out Gift of Green's thoughts).
What Counts - stats on green consumers (it's the grey column to the right).
Okay, can you believe it's August already? Here's a thought from the pastor at The Chapel: "The Psalms say, 'Teach us to number our days so that we may gain wisdom in our hearts.' Love today. Make meaning out of it. Enjoy the presence of God so that no matter how fast your life goes, it'll be good."

Kingsolver's latest has been calling to me every time I walk through Borders - thanks for the great review! I'm a city-dweller, though, with no place for a garden, so I'm a little bit afraid to read it...
I'm guessing she isn't a fan of balony sandwiches???

Gooood morning! Saw your two pieces in print when Whole Times arrived on my doorstep. You are so nice to link back to my review - it's a bit verbose! :)

Loved the review on Animal Vegtable Miracle. I have been thinking about getting it, but now I am positive I will. I have the land now, so I might as well get the motivation. Thanks for the push.

It's worth the read!

I must be one of the few people on the planet who found Kingsolver's book annoying.
It seemed a forced family effort to me, and the story seemed thrown together, as in "hey, why don't we throw in a couple of long road trips and even a long flight (can you spell Spent Fuel and free travel write-off)to fill out the story. Because, after all, there's only so much I can hammer them over the head with the 'real' cost of food..."
Okay, maybe it's because I've already been thinking about all this and growing my own food for decades that I found this book to be a big yawn.
I'll shut up now... :)

Another one of my friends didn't like it either. I know what you mean about the forced story though. Seems like lots of books do that.
