Ollie Lister _lliel11 — Timeless message about the power of pursueing your dreams.

Ridwan Wijaya ridwanbpn6659 — I'm not usually into short stories that aren't written by Ray Bradbury or Stephen King, but this collection of lyrically written sci-fi/horror stories captured my attention and utterly charmed me. Most of the stories didn't make a lot of sense, but there was something completely beautiful about them that it didn't really matter. I even forgave some of the stories that didn't have good endings because they were simply so beautiful! I think my favorites were The Wizards of Perfil, Magic for Beginners and The Faery Handbag. I didn't care for The Surfer -- but then I also didn't like that story when I read it in The Starry Rift. One bad story out of nine stories total... not too bad!

Lucyna Danuta utauta — The Red Tent retells the biblical story of Dinah, Jacob's daughter. Essentially, Dinah is pretty much a footnote in the Bible, so Diamant really fleshes out the story of Dinah. In The Red Tent, women are strong and intelligent and hard-working. Menstration is not seen as disgusting in this book, but something to celebrate. Really, reading this book I felt proud to be a woman. To me, this book was well-written, parts of it just broke my heart, but other parts made my heart swell. Diamant's writing style pulled me in and kept me hooked until the very end.

Matheus Santos _antos_rt — An unexpected sewer backup this winter resulted in a giant hole in our front yard. Rather than simply re-seed the lawn, I thought I’d explore some other options for landscaping the front yard and avoid the need to push the mower up the incline this season. Among other books I particularly enjoyed Fritz Haeg’s “Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn.” Edible Estates is part art project, part social experiment, part environmental activism. Haeg embarked on the endeavor of transforming front yards from expanses of grass into productive vegetable gardens. This book documents his project in three prototype gardens in varying U.S. hardiness zones in photographs, e-mail excerpts, diagrams, and blog posts. The book opens with a series of essays ranging from the history of the American Lawn (think Jefferson’s Monticello) to front lawn gardening with children. Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food), contributes his thoughts on his conversion from mowing that began with apple, peach, cherry and plum trees. Haeg is quick to point out the irony of spreading fertilizer and pesticide and dousing it with clean water in order to grow green grass only to cut it to within ½ inch of death and do it all over again, all the while contaminating the water sources and emitting carbon at preposterous rates. Contrary to Haeg’s expectation that neighbors might complain about yards that don’t conform to the standard acceptable norm, the Edible Estates drew people together, provoking conversation and developing community. I’d encourage you to pick up the book and give it a look. You might be surprised by what you find. While our front yard isn’t likely to feed our family for the year, perhaps if you stroll along Graceland St. NE sometime this summer we can enjoy each other’s company over fresh strawberries at the front stoop.
