Cod by Mark Kurlansky

[Neoma]

Anyone read it? I recommend it. It's a very fast read too.

1. I found it fascinating

The sub-title is "the fish that changed the world" and I gained a new respect for cod.
I read it when I was beginning my genealogy research and finding generations of Norwegian cod fisherman.

2. Unfortunately, I come from a long line of preachers.

I don't particularly care to look up my genealogy because of that.

I've never eaten Cod before, and all those recipes are making me pine for fish.

3. No, but I've been wanting to do so for a long time. nt

4. Well, you can be comforted by how it's a fast read.

5. I will be posting it on paperbackswap.com in about 30 days.

Just got it, Mr. D. is reading it now, then me, then posting.

6. I have not read that one, but I have read his Basque History of the World

That was absolutely fabulous so when I get some spare reading time I may pick up Cod. Thanks for the recommendation.
