I'm curious. As it relates to growing, food, and health, what are you reading? This week I finished the Good Food Revolution by Will Allen and started Aquaponic Gardening by Sylvia Bernstein yesterday.

Trying to learn something that escaped me in my learning years:

Helps with making wine from my various wine grape vines...........  Fig wine is next!

I should have known better...Thanks to Akram, I am editing the title of my post.

Always looking through gardening catalogs. Just got an old mushroom book, so far just looked at the pics, but will breeze through it.

I have a Dr.Earth magazine and some seed catalogs sitting in book rack in bathroom and read when i sit on Mr.Porcelain.

I have three books from Eliot Coleman that I've read and always keep at hand to go back to. For me it's kinda like THE HOLY GRAIL for growing. He lives in Maine and grows like say NC. Very easy read with pictures to show and explain. Right up my alley.

I've been reading about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and qigong exercises. I'm also taking a crack at bonsai.

Finished reading- "The secrete history of the war on Cancer" by Dr. Devra Davis. A great and informative book on Cancer and its history. Next book will be "The war and peace" by Leo Tolstoy. Actually, few years ago I read half of it but never finished the rest. This time-around, I'll begin reading it from the beginning again.

I've been reading and learning about real estate investing.  I get a local gardening magazine for Texas. 

"the elfstones of shannara". i'm a sucker for a fantasy books. read it when i was in high school and reading it again.

Non-food related:
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series..I'm on book 3. Pretty good mystery.

Nothing food-related, but I got another Inspector Montalbano mystery by Andrea Camilliere for Fathers' Day. Nothing like reading a good Sicilian mystery in the summer sun to whet the appetite for some figs and prosciutto!

Thanks for the references and the links. And please keep adding them.

The aquaponics book has good practical information about how to grow your own fish in your backyard, basement, or greenhouse using the fish waste as fertilizer/food and the plants as water filter in a closed loop system. Interesting. My try a demo five gallon bucket version to see if I have the time and patience to scale up.

My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell & Growing Great Garlic by Ron L. Engeland
I also refer to assorted Peterson Field Guides almost daily.
