The $64 Tomato - William Alexander

A nice gardening memoir. It doesn't exhort you to go out and grow all your own food, and it has a nice balance between what's great about gardening and what's tough. Also has an excellent short (well-chosen) gardening bibliography in the back. It inspired me to want to grow more vegetable, but kept my feet on the ground about the difficulty involved.
