I really enjoyed reading "Waterlogged". Thanks for the inteviews with Dr Noakes. "Perfect Health Diet" is a great companion to "Nourishing Tradiions". The Jaminets made a good stab at an Australasian version of "PHD" (but they needed a an Australasian proof reader).

"Primal Connection" will be the next book on your list to read.

It's always interesting to see what Ben has been reading. I had been meaning to ask, but it happened anyway. I guessed a couple of these, but others are new.
