  • The Glass Castle
    • Rated 5 stars

    “The Glass Castle provided insight into a world that exists right in front of us but we rarely pay attention to. It raised a number of questions for me and provoked a lot of insignts and thoughts into my own life. Well written and enjoyable. ”

  • In Defense of Food
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Well researched and written book that examines our dependency on the "food industry" and societal notions of nutrition. I found the discussion on margarine and corn very interesting as well as the history of nutritionism. It made me rethink how I shop for food and question what I'm actually eating. ”
