Crockett's Victory Garden. And it is making me feel guilty, because I am a couple months behind schedule for what I'm supposed to be doing in my veggie patch :(
I'm also reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by one of my favorite authors, Barbara Kingsolver (Poisonwood Bible- go read it). It's a nonfiction account of the first year she and her family became 'localvores' and started growing all their own food.

I have read some powerful shit but this is just fucking CRAZY.
Threads like these contribute to the NEW stoner stereotype. A group of intelligent, knowledge seeking citizens. I love it!
After going through my book collection yesterday, I am overwhelmed with how many I want to re-read. Non-fiction is great because you learn volumes on the initial read, then refer back later and find that the same information has more impact.
Now that I'm in between semesters, I can start "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. I've been dying to read this one. I research Huxley all the time, but have yet to read any of his writings.
For non-fiction, I am jumping around between:
The Holographic Universe (Talbot)
The Next 50 Years (compilation of essays)
Forbidden History (multiple authors)
I also have this weird obsession with reading my judge's manual from the 19th Cannabis Cup in A-dam almost daily. They give you a booklet to make comments on shops and strains. Whenever I read it, I am transported straight back to that amazing city. If you've never been there, it's incredible. However, it is a heartbreak to have to leave. It's like spending two weeks in heaven, then they say "Oh, there's no more room so you can't stay... but you can hang out in Jersey until next time." :(
(nothing against Jersey, just a metaphor) :jointsmile:
Keep reading... stay in school!

Kill All Your Darlings, by Luc Sante (which among other things, contains his famous High Times essay. "Why Do You Think They Call It Dope?")
A Scanner Darkly by Philip K Dick. Anybody ever seen the movie or read the book? Incredible, incredible story, semi-based on Dick's actual life. Very powerful book, I finished it in two days and I highly recommend it.
"The pain, so unexpected and undeserved had for some reason cleared away the cobwebs. I realized I didn't hate the cabinet door, I hated my life... My house, my family, my backyard, my power mower. Nothing would ever change; nothing new could ever be expected. It had to end, and it did. now in the dark world where I dwell, ugly things, and surprising things, and sometimes little wondrous things, spill out in me constantly, and I can count on nothing."

'Positive creative thoughts lead to action and ultimate realization, but the real
power, much more than action itself, is the thought.
Remember always:
"Whatever men and women can conceive mentally, they can bring into materialization" Health, Wealth, and Happiness must follow if the proper mental pictures are created and constantly maintained, for the law of cause and effect is immutable"

Just picked up The Revolution: A Manifesto by Ron Paul. It is an amazingly quick read considering the breadth of topics he indulges.
I am particularly interested in his views on foreign affairs though most people not in the know about Dr.No would say it is another boring economics text.
