sarahmichigan"The Shameful Life of Salvador Dali" by Ian Gibson. Well-researched, and this very long book has wonderful color plates in the middle and black and white illustrations and photos throughout. It was definitely worth the time investment to get this snapshot of a time and place that I didn't know much about before.
and
"Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life" by Barbara Kingsolver. Despite the rather scathing and lengthy critique of this book's faults in a previous post, I DID like the book. I especially liked that, as a book on CD, it was read by the authors: Kingsolver, her husband and her teenage daughter. Overall, I'd recommend it, but I'd also recommend staying skeptical and doing your own research and thinking in addition.
