“I just finished ‘Animal, Vegetable, Miracle,’ by Barbara Kingsolver. It’s about buying locally and growing your own food to cut down on the fuel consumption associated with food transportation.”

I was wondering the same thing, murphy. I'm reading "Talk talk" by T.C. Boyle. It is pretty interesting.... A woman named Dana gets her identity seriously ripped off by a man and her life is pretty much destroyed at this point. She is trying to track him down and I'm anxious to see if she will find him!
