Ugh, Animal Liberation is a migraine. I won't spoil it for you though, let me know what you think afterwards.
Same to you, Jillian, I very nearly bought The Chomsky Reader, I want to read more political books but I'm lost as to where to start.
Today I bought The Inner World Of Farm Animals by Amy Hatkoff (and foreword by Jane Goodall! Whoo!), a very light read but pretty cool, lots of fun facts about all the different farm animals (did you know that the flappy thing on a turkey's face is called a snood, and it changes colour with the turkey's mood? Cows enjoy solving puzzles? Chicks learn from videos, and also peep to their mother and each other up to 24 hours before they hatch?) Also lots of stories from farm sanctuaries, and lots and lots of beautiful pictures.
I also got Vegan With A Vengeance, the recipes look awesome, and I'm just about to read The Dog By The Cradle, The Serpent Beneath: Some Paradoxes Of Human-Animal Relationships. I read a bit of it in the store where she's interviewing Temple Grandin, and pretty much concludes that at least Grandin's welfarist outlooks are bullshit, so I'm hoping I'll like the rest of it just as much.
