So many great books I’ve enjoyed are mentioned here. And it’s hard to pick just one that’s changed my life, many have.

But in the interest of variety in this thread, I’ll throw out Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. It inspired me to go deeper in my beloved cooking practice towards growing food and hunting, and through all that I’ve found much gratitude for and understanding of life and what humanity has gone through to get us to this point.

Over a decade later and I’m still working towards a simpler and more fulfilling lifestyle.



If you want to further develop that gratitude, you might like At Home by Bill Bryson (and everything else he wrote, really)
