I've read these, too! I loved Garbageland. Last Child In The Woods is also very good, but it would have meant more to me if my kids were still little, I think. Anyway, you're about the fourth blog I've read today where people are starting book lists, so it must be resolution time. I just started one myself.
I too loved Garbageland (it changed my life) and also her newest book, Watermania (fabulous follow-up to Garbageland on a more specific, related subject). I'm reading Last Child in the Woods now and am enjoying it immensely so far. I also have on my shelf to read next, Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy by Matthew Scully...
If you are enjoying The Complete Tightwad Gazette, you might also like Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez. The concepts discussed in the book really helped my husband and me clarify our financial goals.
Joyce - That's a hefty book list you've put together but sounds like some good reads! I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on them.
Maren - I really want to read Dominion also. Besides the article you posted on your blog by Matthew Scully, I also read about Dominion in an article by Michael Pollan. It sounds like an amazing book.
Steph - Thanks for the suggestion. I'll be sure to check it out!
I would add Suddenly Frugal by Leah Ingram. She's very green and very frugal and at the same time, practical.
