Several years ago I was visiting my sister in Atlanta and we went to a reading and book signing at a Chapter 11 Books store. The author was Michael Pollan and the reading was from his book, The Botany of Desire.

His book Second Nature explores his deepening obsession with gardening, which I can relate to! Pollan is a definite 'must-read' for budding gardeners and anyone interested in the history of the food supply...
