      I thought Mark Kurlansky sounded familiar so I just looked and yup, he wrote Salt: a World History. I adore that book, but I haven’t really looked into any of his other work yet. What else would you recommend by him?

        Salt might be my favorite, but I would follow it up with Cod, Paper, and The Big Oyster.
