Well, Borders was having a favorite paperbacks buy 1 get the 2nd 50% off sale for the holidays. I had told myself that I wasn't going to buy any books for awhile, because I have no room for all of them, and was going to check out books from the library instead - but how could I resist...there were so many good reads right there, looking irresistible on the table, calling out my name. So I bought Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food. I pummeled through half of it in one sitting and I think it's about to change my life. Glory to whole foods, and down with the 'food-like substances' that clutter our world. Or mostly, that clutter our grocery stores.
Pollan makes me feel bad for downing that bag of Cheetos on the train ride home because, really, what are Cheetos if you really stop and think about it?? He makes me rethink buying non-fat milk, cheese, yogurt, bread, cereal. He makes me want to eat fruits and vegetables mainly, and meat occasionally, but more as a side dish than a main course.
And I like how T and I are going to trade volumes, this for Omnivore's Dilemma and vice versa. Since we've moved out our closets and bookshelves have not been complete.
PS. My other book, for 50% off, was The Alchemist :)
