Reading the Table is a Reading Circle Book-Blog about food. We’ll be reading a circle of titles on food, culture & agriculture, and posting the reflections, connections, and questions these titles provoke. So far, our reading circle includes:
- The Omnivore’s Dilemma, an examination of where our food comes from and how it connects us to the world around us, by New York Times investigative journalist Michael Pollan
- In Defense of Food, Michael Pollan’s look at food and health
- No Eat Not Food, Rick Sanger’s tale of alien eating for kids
- Kitchen Literacy: How We Lost Knowledge of Where Food Comes from and Why We Need to Get It Back, historian Ann Vileisis’ investigation of family food knowledge in America
- Civic Agriculture: Reconnecting Farm, Food, and Community, Thomas Lyson’s examination of how we might do things differently
- Simply in Season & the other World Community Cookbooks.
We’d like you to read & write along! You can think of this as an online book club that meets at your convenience, whenever you choose to visit. You can use the links above to find copies of the books at the library, independent bookstores or Amazon.com; subscribe to the posts via email or the RSS Feed; or contact me if you’d like to become a contributing author to Reading the Table.
