Salt: A World History, by Mark Kurlansky

[melissajm]

I've just started reading this. I wouldn't have thought a book about salt could be so fascinating. It's like the History Channel mixed with Iron Chef and narrated by Alton Brown, and it's got all kinds of cool facts for writers.

I don't know about a rock, but what about a rocker. Keith Richards must eat a lot of salt. ;)

Rockers can go bad. The wood can warp and they can need reupholstering. (sp?) ;)

Great comeback! We can put Keith in the rocker when he's too old to play Pirate of the Carribean or Rock Star anymore. *G*

"reupholstering" Word sp ck gave it an okay. ;)
