I’ve got a little behind in my project to read one of the unread books on my shelf each month. Or, at least, I’ve got a little bit behind in publishing the results! My book for March was Just Vegetating: A Memoir, by Joy Larkcom. I eagerly awaited its publication in 2012, and started reading it as soon as it arrived. And then I stopped, part way through, because it didn’t live up to my expectations. I was expecting a memoir, telling the story of Larkcom’s life in plants. Just Vegetating does do that, but it does it through the medium of articles she has published through the years. It’s not a coherent narrative.
