Omnivore’s Dilemma
It took months, but I’ve finally finished it. For being such a useful book, it was amazingly hard to get through without falling asleep. Something about Pollan’s writing just puts me out. It’s interesting, well structured, well written, but just not exciting.
I would recommend it, as long as it’s understood that it could take a very long time to get through. The interesting thing is that I wouldn’t want to read it quickly. By absorbing the content over the course of a few months, I was able to think through many of the chains of logic and resources put forth. It’s one thing to read a chapter, it’s another to carry that specific information around for a week when wandering the aisles in the grocery store.
