Reading Together 2014 (23 books)

For the first time in its history, Reading Together will feature TWO different titles written by TWO different authors. This year's theme, in a word, is FOOD. Our primary selections for 2014 are "The American Way of Eating: Undercover at Walmart, Applebee's, Farm Fields and the Dinner Table" by Tracie McMillan and "Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer"
by Novella Carpenter.

This list features additional reads that may be of interest to those who have been inspired by Carpenter and McMillan.
