Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson
Funny and enjoyable. I enjoyed his writings of his wanderings.
A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson
Loved it. I do enjoy his books. This describes his attempt to hike the Appalachian Trail (he doesn't hike all of it, but he certainly hikes a large chunk). This book was fun to read.
Scoot Over, Skinny: The Fat Nonfiction Anthology by Donna Jarrell and Ira Sukrungruang
Meh. I had such high hopes for these fat/fat acceptance books, and they all came highly recommended, but none of them met my expectations. This one was no exception.
A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr.
Loved it! I love apocalyptic stories, though, so I'm an easy target for this book. Still, it was excellent.
Body Wars: Making Peace with Women's Bodies, an Activist's Guide by Margo Maine
Meh. Didn't really do anything for me.
Stick Figure: A Personal Journey Through Anorexia and Bulimia by Christine Fontana
Pretty good. It was an interesting world to read about.
Bodies out of Bounds: Fatness and Transgression by Jana Evans Braziel and Kathleen LeBesco
Meh. A couple of the essays were pretty good, but most were boring at best.
Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions by Neil Gaiman
Some hits, some misses. Overall a good read. I have yet to try his graphic novels (I know, I'm a bad fan), but his novels are more to my taste than his short stories. Still, there were some good ones.
Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch
Interesting. So obvious (to others, anyway). Giving it a try.
