Cardamom Tango

My previous entry indicated that my January/February Reading list would be next, and so it is.  Except, plus a month.  (March, for those waiting in suspense.)  I have already completed The Poisonwood Bible and will write a review when I receive my copy in the mail (I was borrowing it from a friend and loved it so much I used a paperback swap credit to get my own copy.)  Not all of them have to do with my theme of social justice; some are simply on my want-to-read list.

Kingsolver, Barbara.  The Poisonwood Bible.  New York: Harper Collins Press, 1999.

Rubin, Robert Aldin.  On the Beaten Path: An Appalachian Pilgrimage.  New York: The Lyons Press, 2000.

In addition, I have three gardening books that I won't read cover to cover but will skim thoroughly and probably comment on a lot during my first year of vegetable gardening:
