I read this book after using the California Newsreel/Independent Lens DVD by the same name in several of my college courses. The book is insightful and very interesting. My only complaint is that I wish it was even more in depth!
I read this book primarily because I have enjoyed several other books by this author. I was intrigued by the subject matter as well, though. I am a struggling vegetarian, meaning that I try to be one but falter on an infrequent basis. This book has helped me reconsider my choices, as well as how I rationalize what, and how, I eat. Foer does not demand that the reader give up eating animals, but he does demand that you take a closer look at how you approach the subject on an intellectual and moral level.

One of my most-used cookbooks, proven by its dog-eared pages and well-worn cover. This book is down-to-earth and full of great, easy recipes. I particularly like the index in the back...I use it when I have a handful of random ingredients in the kitchen and no idea how to use them!
A wonderfully touching look into the life of the author and her Newfoundlands. From dog shows and trials to accommodating for a litter of puppies, the reader is exposed to life with some of the most intriguing dogs in the world. A quick, but very engaging read!
