Barbara Kingsolver: Chapter 1 "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle"

Best-selling author Barbara Kingsolver (and her family) wrote "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle", a book about eating only food that they grew or which came from their community for an entire year. She reads the first chapter at Book Passage in Northern Cal. It's a tale of purpose, natural food, and learning to live sustainably.

After reading this book I changed how I shop and eat, not out of guilt but because I love the Earth and my own health and want to act wisely toward both.

This woman is wonderful, and everyone should read her last book (Animal, Vegetable, Miracle). It's nice seeing her in person, on this video. Thanks for posting it.

I've never read a worse book in my entire life! There was not a single interesting thing in the book and I don't think that it could have possibly been any more boring. If you are thinking about reading this book DON'T!!

I started this book and loved it, but due to work and school, then other books, then more school, haven't had a chance for it again. As soon as I'm finished with my current book though, I'm picking this one up.

I loved her Poisonwood Bible, I recommend her to all. :)

I wanted to like this book (I was hoping for a book along the lines of the 'Geek Farm Life' podcast), but, unfortunately - I found her way too preachy throughout the book.
