This is a book that I couldn't read slowly enough for fear that it would end.
Wendell Berry--novelist, poet, essayist--has written an unrequited love story and a love letter to the natural world. Jayber Crow revisits Berry's fictional Kentucky town of Port William and peers into the life of the... more info

2.Hannah Coulter: A NovelHannah Coulter: A Novel
from Shoemaker & Hoard
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Of the eleven novels by Wendell Berry in the Port William saga, Hannah Coulter is probably the best. It is a complete life told with great sensitivity of a poor girl and an outsider to the families written about in the other novels of the saga. Hannah has great determination and ability to overcome... more info

3.The Unsettling of America: Culture and AgricultureThe Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture
from Sierra Club Books
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
As I read this book, I agree with Berry on many points, the evolution of householder into consumer, and agriculturist into corporate farming.
In fact much of what we see to today that drives small farmers off the farm is the drive for more. Corporate interests in the guise of Ted Turner,... more info

4.What Are People For?: EssaysWhat Are People For?: Essays
from North Point Press
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
With sharp insight Berry's essays serve as a vision of a different life with different values: values of family, land, preservation, and thrift. Worth the time to read though Berry's vocabulary may be a hindrance to some less accomplished readers.

5.The Hidden WoundThe Hidden Wound
from North Point Press
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
Wow, Wendell Berry wrote this book when he was only 34. At the Wisconsin Book Festival, Rick Bass said it was his favorite Wendell Berry book. It is an amazing chronicle of a man looking honestly at his beliefs and his culture regarding racism and trying to wipe away the cob webs and face the real... more info

6.The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays of Wendell BerryThe Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays of Wendell Berry
from Shoemaker & Hoard
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
This is the first Wendell Berry book I've read. I was vastly disappointed after reading some much praise for his works. Much of his work is overly flowery and long-winded.
There are a few gems this collection of essays: "A Native Hill" and "The Whole Horse" come to mind. These few essays stick... more info

from Bantam Books

Customer Review:
After seeing references to this book in several articles about Permaculture, I knew I needed to get it. So I looked, and I buy a lot of used books from Amazon, so I was hoping to get it that way. No luck. So I found a publisher in India, Vedic publishing and ordered from them. A month later(Air... more info

8.The Way of Ignorance: And Other EssaysThe Way of Ignorance: And Other Essays
from Shoemaker & Hoard
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Wendell Berry, an otherwise excellent author, has chosen this venue to rail against progress. He seems to want to lock in the 20th, or maybe even the 19th century and stay there.w

from Shoemaker & Hoard
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
Wendell Berry's fictional town of Port William, Kentucky has proven to be fertile ground for a legacy of graceful, lovely stories about the place and its citizens. Berry has a knack for honing in on the key moments in his protagonists' lives when they reach very personal revelations about themselves... more info

from Counterpoint
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
This is a book that reads almost like poetry. I found myself slowing down and re-reading for the pleasure of the words and the strong sense of place that the author is able to create. I found the characters believable and admirable - doing the best they can as the war takes their sons and husbands-... more info
