current book inventory


books that i am (reluctantly) returning to the library:
1. the other way to listen
children's book about what it means to really listen to the world. beautifully illustrated.
2. nancy silverton's sandwich book
recipes from LA's campanile restaurant & their weekly "sandwich night" tradition. major YUM!
3. living in style: without losing your mind
i wish i could live by this title.
4. a field guide to sprawl
fascinating visuals of sprrrrraaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwl. and some interesting new lingo like boomburb, mall glut, pork chop lot, and snout house.
5. letters to a young poet
simple, real medidations. i'm halfway through. must. finish. why don't we write letters like this anymore?

1. the country doctor
2. bird by bird: some instructions on writing and life
3. the cloudspotter's guide: the science, history, and culture of clouds
