Apologies

Whew!! Finals are over, now we can begin to post much more frequently.

I am about halfway done with Barbara Kingsolver's latest book, Animal Vegetable Miracle. Its the perfect story for the Wendell Berry House. For the book, Kingsolver moves here family to a rural Virginia farm and attempts to eat only what her family can make or buy from the local community. For the most part Kingsolver is dead on. She makes a coherent argument for the importance of understanding our food.

I would urge each of you to read this book. I assigned it for all of the Wendell Berry House members and think it captures the essence of what we a re trying to do next year.

p.s. I will be posting my summer reading list in the coming days. I'd really enjoy it if anyone reading the blog reads some of the books with me.

If you're looking to lengthen your summer reading list: Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver (the same) is also a good read.
