I suppose you've probably heard enough about finances now. I think it's time to move on to a new subject of study (I can't promise though that you won't hear more about finances though...). For a variety of reasons I've started a casual investigation of organic food. Taking Care of Yourself is just one of the several books sitting on my bedroom floor. I would really appreciate hearing about any good books on the subject that you've read.
Taking Care of Yourself covers several elements of balanced living. Andrew Weil begins with an introduction to integrated medicine (the combination of modern and traditional medicine). He argues that a comprehensive approach to healthy living is better than just popping pills. I agree with him. It's always better to go to the root of the problem rather than treat the symptoms.
He discusses many subjects such as balanced diets, navigating health food stores and exercise. I enjoyed the book, though some of the nutrient/chemical names went in one ear and out the other. But I expected that. I don't remember a lot of things from my first finance book either. With time and more exposure to a variety of books regarding healthy living, I hope to get a more complete picture of the whole subject.

This is something that I have been meaning to investigate as well, somewhat inevitable when I have a vegan/vegetarian roommate :) I'll have to ask Tara for some suggestions too and pass those on to you....
