Information 2014 & 2015

Perhaps this is all in my head, but I feel as though one of my jobs in our household is systems manager (since that is something that I naturally do well). As the systems manager (that I just crowned myself as), I would be better suited to my job if I glean more information about the systems I am attempting to manage. In my year-end books read review I do for my own benefit, I noticed that not only did I not read a great number of books this year, very few of them were aligned with my goals of furthering our agricultural life. Here were the books that I DID read in 2014 that help me have a wider breadth of knowledge.

•  The Tinkerers: The amateurs, DIYers, and inventors who make America great by Alex Foege
• 101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution: Ideas and resources for self-liberation, monkey wrenching and preparedness by Claire Wolfe
• Loving and Leaving the Good Life by Helen Nearing
• Getting Food from Water: A Guide to backyard aquaculture by Gene Logsdon
• The Chicken Chronicles: Sitting with the angels who have returned with my memories: Glorious, Rufus, Gertrude Stein, Splendor, Hortensia, Agnes of God, The Gladyses & Babe: a memoir by Alice Walker

In 2015, I would like to read more, and read more books that further our life goals. I am fully aware that information comes from sources other than books, but I worry that this is emblematic of the information that I have been researching this past year.

Here's to a new year and new books to read!
