Behind the Beautiful Forevers Life Death & Hope in a Mumbai Undercity

Amazing book! I loved the authors obvious deep respect for the individual people she was portraying in her book. So often in non-fiction or journalistic writing the poor are written in a way that does not show the complexity of their lives, their relationships, their moral values. Katherine Boo's book is revolutionary in that she obviously worked really hard to reveal those complexities and subtleties, and that she left herself completely out of the stories in order to let her subjects have fuller voice.

Acupuncture Is Like Noodles The Little Red CookBook of Working Class Acupuncture

this book is incredibly user-friendly and profoundly simple as well as simply profound. it is full of heart. my 11 year old step-daughter read it and understood every word and loved it. she said: "i can easily say i learned much more from that book than from most books i read". i run a community acupuncture clinic in the san francisco bay area and this book is changing how our community thinks and talks about acupuncture.
