tell me about books!

[sev]

I got this idea from firecat, who made a much more manageable request than I'm about to make...

Tell me about the books on my wishlist. Tell me if you've loved them or hated them. I'm currently paralyzed with indecision every time I think I might want to treat myself to a book, because there's too many to choose from.

Most of the books on my list fall into a handful of categories: knitting, feminism, science fiction, art, judaism, food. I know some of you must have read some of them. Heck, a lot of them are there because one of you mentioned them!

Note: this is not a request for gifts. Seriously.

If you're looking for brain candy, I can recommend either the Elizabeth Moon or Kim Harrison books--I think I own everything both of them have written, and have read it all multiple times. And see? I'm restraining myself mightily (it involves duct tape) from adding suggestions for three dozen more sci-fi/fantasy novels with Strong Female Characters.

And if I ever manage to convert myself from crocheting to knitting, I'm coming to your wishlist for ideas on what to buy, seriously.
