Recommendations for Animal Rights / Veg books

July 12, 2009

Hi all,

Would love to hear suggestions (either privately or on the list) for books that would be thought-provoking for Bay Area Vegetarians' Food for Thought book club. We are now meeting monthly, and will be discussing veg/AR books on odd-numbered months, and philosophy books on even-numbered months.

As a point of reference, I'll include a list of books we've already read below. Future books include Case for Animal Rights by Tom Regan, Ethics into Action: Henry Spira and the Animal Rights Movement by Peter Singer, and Slaughterhouse by Gail Eisnitz.

So if there's a really great book that you've read on any topic in respect to veg/AR, please let me know.

Cheers,

Tammy
