A fun read about the plants that make our alcoholic beverages. Plants that are fermented. Or distilled. Or steeped.
Years ago, I made my own wine and brewed my own beer. Every now and then I want to pick that hobby up again. Books like this remind me how much work that is.
By Ralph De La Rosa
An interesting overview of our emotionally charged world, and how to better deal with it. De La Rosa brings the variety of his experience to this book.
By Margaret Atwood.
The Essays in this book are a mix of topical and reflective, personal and public. Atwood is a fairly prolific writer. Much ground is covered here.
It's inspired me to read some other Ontario Authors as well as Ursula K. Le Guin.
By Margaret Atwood
The last book in the Maddaddam series. This book focuses on Zeb & Tony's story and tells more about how corporations took over government.
It's a hopeful ending. Complicated. I enjoyed the series. I and will reread at some point.
Does Atwood have her own version of Chekhov's gun? Atwood's mushroom-- A poisonous mushroom introduced early in the book means that someone must be poisoned later on?
Atwood is generally a great writer. However, she should stay away from writing about computer hacking.
