As I navigate these fresh waters of blogging and twitter, I can't help but notice that most of us have quite the affection for the written word. I suppose it makes sense - if we didn't then we wouldn't be doing what we're doing. Almost daily I read something extraordinary here in the internet world, and I'm also learning about how much you are all seem to love to read.
I thought I would share what we're reading here Chez Scott, and perhaps you can leave me some suggestions for what you and your family are dipping into these days. Cookbooks recommendations most welcome, of course.

I am trying very hard to get through The Omnivore's Dilemma by Pollan but non-fiction BORES me! So I intersperse it with some trusty Agatha Christie novels.

Food Rules by Michael Pollan is my go to pocket book these days. It's a follow up from the Omnivore's Dilemma. I also enjoyed Food Inc. in a weird way. Our family is trying organic these days, so it helps reinforce our decision... though, I'm not sure how long it will last. What is everyone's feeling about organic?
