... reading the well-written Bottomfeeder by Taras Grescoe, which explores seafood sourcing and overfishing, reminiscent of The Omnivore's Dilemma's exploration of industrial land-based farming. I'm also reading an arc of Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron ...

... by Michael Pollan. My review is here. A good book - not as "meaty" as Omnivore's Dilemma, but offering some new insight into how the West views food along with some practical advice for healthy eating.

I'm just finishing up In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan, a much shorter read than Omnivore's Dilemma. I started my July ER book, Sweetsmoke by David Fuller last night.

... Roosevelt, by Edmund Morris Enduring Grace, by Carol Flinders Team of Rivals, by Doris Kearns Goodwin The Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan Nickel and Dimed, by Barbara Ehrenreich

... Pollan's 200 page manifesto centered on "eat food, eat less, mostly plants." The "practical" followup book to the terrific The Omnivore's Dilemma. The Political Mind by Lakoff. The good prince fabletown #10 (i am a big fan of the whole series); Alan Moore's Promethea v. 1. I liked this. ...

... read it after our June meeting.) I keep this group on track with email reminders and by making restaurant arrangements. The Omnivore's Dilemma was the perfect book to discuss at a vegan restaurant! The Bronx is Burning took us to a restaurant on Arthur Avenue, the Little Italy of the Bronx ...

>8 I loved The Omnivore's Dilemma and am also making changes ... the first is a real attention to not wasting food. I'm following up right now with Pollan's In Defense of Food, also good but not as deep nor gentle. And I just bought his The Botany of Desire, about how plants "use" insects and ...

... two and their little problem. 11. Golden Spur by Dawn Powell Fun in Greenwich Village from the early 60s 12. The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michale Pollan First three sections fascinating. Fourth pretentious. 13. The Great Influenza : the Epic St ...

... the number of aisles that I actually shop in dwindling. Has anyone else? What do you guys think about his arguments in Omnivore's Dilemma about 'industrial' organic? Do you think it's any better for either the environment (either local to the farm locale, or in general and including issues ...

... cranky in In Defense of Food. I generally don't do well with audiobooks, much prefer to read, but I so enjoyed Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma that I wanted to quickly fit in his follow-up. But Brick sounds pedantic and snarly, definitely a contrast to Pollan's gentle and curious ...

... mode of thinking. I have heard some say that they thought the author seemed a bit "cranky" in this book as opposed to The Omnivore's Dilemma (which I haven't read yet) but I haven't encountered that yet. Of course, when it comes to the subject of the junk that is available in the ...

... and aftermath of a sex scandal at a private Vermont high school. Perhaps my favorite novel by the author to date. The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan is part agriculture primer, part history lesson, part memoir. It should be required reading about how today’s food is grown and ...

74: nancyewhite -- agree about The Omnivore's Dilemma, loved it. But now I'm listening to the audiobook of Pollan's follow-up, In Defense of Food ... and he (or else the audio reader) seems very cranky :( Just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (charming epistolary ...

I finished up The Omnivore's Dilemma which I loved much more than I expected to. Michael Pollan is funny and fresh rather than pendantic or political. Now I am both enjoying and struggling with The Yiddish Policeman's Union by Michael Chabon. I've already set it aside once when it ...

14. The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan 15. In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan 16. The Know-It-All by A.J. Jacobs 17. The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi (loved the book, but not impressed with the movie)

Books I've read this year that aren't in the challenge (yet): 1. The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan 2. The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton 3. The Darkest Evening of the Year by Dean Koontz 4. Never Enough by Joe McGinniss 5. The Sex Club by L.J. Sellers ...

... read (rather than just look for tidbits of interesting information) are those that are more entertaining like a recent read The Omnivore's Dilemma. While he packs in a lot of science and research it's written more like it's a story of how he did his research than the straight results/facts. It ...

Oh my, doesn't this speak volumes: I had only one great read in the month, The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. But I did also have some fun, flip-through diversions in TV Sets by Mark Bennett and Sitcom Style by Diana Friedman. >7 teelgee, glad to see your thumbs up for Half of a Yel ...

... downstairs and travels with me to the deck, the bathroom, the doctor's office, etc. Almost finished with Michael Pollan The Omnivore's Dilemma.

Finished two more: The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. Fascinating, thought-provoking look at our food production systems and the choices we face as food consumers. May or may not nudge me from vegetarian to vegan, but whenever I drink a can of ginger ale I'll think of the ...

>87: nancyewhite -- oh, you'll continue your streak of great reads with The Omnivore's Dilemma! I'm a dozen pages from finishing and it's excellent (engaging) ... should be required reading, I'm definitely going to tweak my food-sourcing habits. I'm also about 1/4 of the way into The Guernsey ...

Just started The Omnivore's Dilemma this morning. I think that I'll enjoy it - his writing is much wittier than you'd expect given the topic.

... of Innocence for the Group Read. I loved it. I've had a streak of good books that I'm hoping to continue this week with The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan

... should stick to fiction; her writing was often verbose, rambling, and sometimes preachy. And if you've already read Omnivore's Dilemma, a lot of it was rehashed information.

... last year traveling from Baja to Alaska, so I'm pretty sure there are more... Before I started my classes, I had started Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan - does that count as a Natural History book? I really liked Green Alaska especially - it parallels her personal stories of life ...

... this novella in a discount book store and it called to me. A fine read: melancholy, sweet, and a satisfying ending. The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan -- A TBR book considered when the New York Times cited it and pushed to a book group read when LTers kept recommending it. T ...

... the World by Dan Koeppel. An interesting look at America's favorite breakfast fruit -- and a book I think fans of The Omnivore's Dilemma and Mark Kurlansky's Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World will also enjoy.

... sentences. Without. Verbs. "Not just for the nineteenth but for the twentieth century too." #18 and #19 - I loved the Omnivore's Dilemma and liked In Defense of Food. Both made me happy to live in a country where cows eat grass, for now at least!

... Minnow Pea - the gimmick was amusing at first but tiring as the book wore on. And now I've almost finished The Omnivore's Dilemma (I think my SO is going to plotz if I mention corn one more time).

44. The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan Fantastic. Should be required (or at least strongly recommended) reading for everyone. I'm now officially afraid of corn...

... Milan Kundera. I am now thoroughly immersed in Kansas and Iowa as we work through the corn belt and beef industry in The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. Tremendously enlightening and a great read.

#33 In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan A much shorter, much less dense follow-up to The Omnivore's Dilemma, expanding on what we should be eating. His advice is good and easy - eat real food. I wish I could afford to live the Pollan lifestyle, but that'll have to wait until after grad ...

... of historical data, yet many disagree on classifying them as fiction or non-fiction. Both Guns, Germs, and Steel or The Omnivore's Dilemma would more than likely not be "read" or completed. I would place both books in the non-fiction section of my library. Both of these books could be ...

... I think we have different definitions of either "non-fiction" or "read". In what sense can Guns, Germs, and Steel or The Omnivore's Dilemma not be "read"? I certainly read the notes (and not all non-fiction has notes, for that matter), if that's your sticking point. Or do you think all ...

#59 - Errr, um... maggie, I haven't read The Omnivore's Dilemma yet. I was raving about In Defense of Food by the same dude. Odd how the second touchstone is broken.

I am working on The Omnivore's Dilemma : a natural history of four meals by Michael Pollan interesting book about food and how it is produced, very eye opening and a little sickening. Microtrends by Mark Penn and E. Kinney Zalesne Just started this but looks like it will be ...

... see how far I can push it in a year. A few more books read never hurt anyone and I'm already off to a good start. 1. The Omnivore's Dilemma (Pollan) 2. Pillars of the Earth (Ken Follett) 3. Foundation (Isaac Asimov)

I bought The omnivore's Dilemma on the strength of clam's raving about it and now that will compete wih Alice in Wonderland - an interesting contrast, but some strange common threads.

I bought The Omnivore's Dilemma today from my favorite small book store. She is having to move to a new location because her current rent is going up so much. She is definitely struggling to stay open - is it the economy? is it the fate of small, independent bookstores? Very frustrating. Also, ...

16. The Voyage of the Beagle 17. The Omnivore's Dilemma Well, I'm slowly moving along here. I enjoyed both of these nonfiction works.

Yep I guess 1 and checked, I've read omnivore's dilemma as my sole non-fic offereing which is just over 2.5% of my reading.

I also recently finished Omnivore's Dilemma. It was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the parts about eating local foods. I am just finishing The Voyage of the Beagle. The 19th century descriptions of geology were boring. The accounts of genocide of the indigenous South Americans were ...

The omnivore's dilemma does a reasonable job of explaining how the situation in the US has led to corn (maize) being cheaper to buy than it is to grow, and why farmers still continue to produce it. Pollan explains it is not the farmers who have sought this, but a combination of agri-business and ...

I'm on The Omnivore's Dilemma so far it's bleak! Also skimming thourgh When Jack sued Jill which is caustic poetry, for the Go Review That Book Group.

Just one favorite thus far: The Omnivore's Dilemma.

GT: The Omnivore's Dilemma (highly recommended, and I've met my goal for G!) Next to go will be Q, since I know what I want to read for both remaining categories (and have one on my TBR shelf).

Just finished The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan and started Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men and A People's History of Science by Clifford D. Conner. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll get much reading done this weekend as there is packing up for a move to do as well as dealing with my ...

>44: FionaCat, I've heard great things about Michael Pollan's books as well ... and now The Omnivore's Dilemma is on my TBR!

#34 & 41 -- Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is a wonderful book! I read it, The Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food (both by Michael Pollan)in a fairly short time period -- all very thought-provoking, inspiring books about food and our (all too often broken) relationship with it.
