Harper C.: Five Book Friday: Uncanny Graphic Novels (0 comment)
We are in the thick of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's dark, damp, and chilly. Rather than escaping to stories with warmer, brighter climates, I personally want nothing more than to dive deep into gothic and uncanny fiction as the wind rattles my windows at night...

    The Chain: Farm, Factory, and the Fate of Our Food by Genoways, Ted
    Chris Langlois, November 28, 2014
    I have read several reviews and believe it to be the perfect Christmas gift for a young sous chef I know. Then when he is finished, I plan on borrowing it.

    1491 New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles C Mann
    Chris Langlois, January 01, 2011
    This is a stunning and engagingly written story, based on recent archeological, geological, and other research, of who was living in the Western Hemisphere, how they were living, and what the agriculture, cultures, and politics looked like. Every page is packed with terrific stuff. Here is an example: "When Columbus landed...the central Mexican plateau alone had a population of 25.2 million.By contrast, Spain and Portugal together had fewer than 10 million inhabitants." This one book amounts to a college course in the history, science and archaeology of our hemisphere. And, best of all, it is great fun!
