I wonder where I could get natto in New Zealand? I'll have to do some investigating! I do like fermented foods though.

One book? That's soooo tough! At the moment a book I'm enjoying more than I expected to is "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott. I was expecting a straight how-to writers book but it's almost a memoir. I love beautifully written books, like Grapes of Wrath and The Poisonwood Bible. They're the types of books that I find most powerful.
