I just finished reading Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clark. One of my dad's countless old books he recommended I read. Never read anything else by him, but the book was very good. A sci-fi about these guys who search an alien ship drifting through space. I loved the author's use of real physics terms in this ship that uses centrifical force as gravity, makes it more believeable. A very good read.

Currently rereading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The first time I read the series I got halfway through the third book Life the Universe, and Everything. Then I stopped for reasons I cannot remember. I love this book. Is is the funniest book I have ever read, period. Thinking of putting a joke from it into my sig too, something short and sweet.

Soul Catcher by Frank Herbert

 

I was surprised that information in this work actually adhered to edible things I have eaten which I didn't know were good food. Surviving in Washington state isn't difficult now-a-days, there are nearby cities, towns, and roadside convenience stores these days. I had experienced some of the items talked about. I didn't believe they were actually good tasting and good food. I surfed the Internet, looking in a survivors guides handbook to find out if what I read was true.

 

I was squeamish when it came to eating ants, and grubs though. I thought about eating grubs though if I were in a situation that demanded I find food, but only because they could be cooked and were like puffed cereal.

 

Blades of grass which are described I did eat, just the way they were described. The way to take the grass and chew it. I managed to figure that out just from being sat on the ground near some of the tall grass during an outing in Glacier National Park. I was very little and didn't see much sense about anything except as something I could eat. I believe someone called what we did when we were beginning crawling, sitting up, and learned to walk as babies, the Lick test.

 

I was fed regularly so it wasn't likely I was giving any items much more then an occasional lick test before I was fed. I suspect Mom would have noticed when I did that and made sure I got some of what she had to offer. When we were camping I probably got some oatmeal cereal with a little warm milk and maple sugar to sweeten it.

 

The book has some detailed stuff that would make a person of the woods feel right at home reading about.
