A good solid, no nonsense shot of wisdom that all women and a lot of men should read. Kate and Marianne bring on the sanity!

Fantastic style, like reading a bunch of great blog posts or having a chat with a good group of chatty friends. Some interesting ideas are brought up and explored that have really made me think about fat and the whole culture around it that we live every day.

As cheesy as it sounds, Kate Harding's blog "Shapely Prose" changed my life. Anyone who knows me would vouch that I'm not a New Agey, optimistic sort of person, but there is a certain wisdom in being kind to yourself and knowing what your body wants. This book is pretty much just a condensed version of all the great stuff that's online, and you guys, it all makes so. much. sense. So, I highly recommend checking out one or both. This book doesn't have that much new information if you're familiar with the website, but it is nicely laid out and I love their straight-talk.
