(I'm sure there are those who would have my head for saying that.)<BR/><BR/>#12 sounds like a trip! Is it a joke? Or is it environmentalism gone wild?

She's gone a bit loopy lately (but even so, she has amazingly inspired flashes of genius), but her earlier stuff is awesome. A Man, for example, or Letter to an Unborn Child (I think these are the English titles of her books... I read them in Italian). She lives in New York, actually.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598718532932773138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19317688.post-1155185502351487002006-08-10T00:51:00.000-04:002006-08-10T00:51:00.000-04:00Oh Dear! i am so sorry Minerva....I called you Nan...Oh Dear! i am so sorry Minerva....I called you Nancy.<BR/>You both came and visited my blog today and when I saw Nancy's post above I got confused.<BR/>Anyway, I like YOUR book list ect.<BR/>But still Hi to Nancy!thehealingroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715069143545611768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19317688.post-1155185297671185902006-08-10T00:48:00.000-04:002006-08-10T00:48:00.000-04:00Hi Nanacy Drew,I appreciate your list and especial...Hi Nanacy Drew,<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your list and especially the inclusion of quotes.<BR/><BR/>I have only read Temple of My Familiar on your list.........but it happens to be one of my favourite books.

Boy am I glad I did. <BR/><BR/>Have not read any of the books you cite (blush) but love the quotes.<BR/><BR/>Actually, the one about human manure is dead wrong and wanted to point that out. Am a biology major ('74). Humans are biomagnifiers--the toxins we absorb from food/environment builds up in our bodies and poop. If we spread that on the soil, we are going to absorb it again in huge proportions. The EPA actually classified it as toxic waste, no kidding, in the mid 1980s, according to a friend of mine who worked there. That might have changed for reasons that have little to do with science, but....<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, very glad to meet you!!!<BR/><BR/>NDBridget Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440545318349892863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19317688.post-1155174914728063652006-08-09T21:55:00.000-04:002006-08-09T21:55:00.000-04:00We both listed books this week, but mine are books...We both listed books this week, but mine are books I've reviewed.
