Any good books you have read?

My favorite is Silent Spring. This book is so relevant today but it was written in the 60's.

I read Ecoholic by Adria Vasil over the summer. It is geared to Canadians making it that much more interesting. It lists companies and products to look for as well as best practices. It is 2007 but still relevant.

The Bible, The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Water for Elephants, One Hundred Years of Solitude (semi-hard read... a lot of characters, I actually made notes on characters' connections and family ties), DaVinci Code, The Help, everything by Kahlil Gibran, White Men's God: The Extraordinary Story of Missionaries in Africa, Night (by Elie Wiesel)- so powerful... just to name a few.

For fun: I just finished up The Help, fantastic book. <- I don't care if it's suppose to be a "chick book".

For environment: I've been reading books about how to properly implement green computing as I am looking to get certified for the topic in the coming weeks.

Recently with an eco theme:

Animal Vegetable Miracle
The Post Carbon Reader

On Economics:

The End of Growth

Just for fun:
The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon was good
I too just read the Help
The Island (about a leper colony in Greece...and if you don't know greek culture you won't be annoyed at the little things that are wrong throughout the book)
Also just read Delirium, which is for young adults (ie: teenage girls), but I thought it was pretty good, way better than Twilight as far as teenage girl novels go...awaiting the sequel to come out in March.

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of that I've recently read.

Just finished two books last week, not about Eco but they were good enough to share: The Hunger Games, and Catching Fire. Now I need to get the third in series =0)

I absolutely love Jane Auel's Clan of the Cave Bear Series. It is very detailed and meticulous but its almost like a sustainability guide. The author has done so much research it is incredible. I really want to learn more about plant identification and medicinal purposes of native plants just from this book.
