		<description><![CDATA[The Lacuna: A Novel is a page-turner worth reading and re-reading. Barbara Kingsolver&#8217;s ability to weave the predictive elements into the plot is so subtle, that I&#8217;m compelled to find out what happens next. I pick up more details on every read-through.

		<description><![CDATA[I started different book lists and realized I'd have to sort and maintain several documents.

<br /><br />What follows is an ongoing list of my favorites since childhood.  Sometimes I will review or comment on a book.  <br /><br />If it's on this list, I love it every time I read it.

As I think of a book I love and haven't read in a while, I'll add the title to this general list.  I may sort by genre in time, but for now, it's everything I read that's worth sharing.  

<br /><br />To be accurate, <a href="http://www.writerbynature.com/index.php?topic=Recipes">wild food cookbooks</a> are listed in the introduction to my <a href="http://www.writerbynature.com/index.php?topic=Recipes">Wild Food Recipes</a>.<br /><br />Happy Reading.<br /><br />]]></description>
