Hmm. I put in "The Secret Knowledge of Water" which was a non-fiction tome about searching for water holes in southwestern deserts. These are the results it gave:

An Unspoken Hunger: Stories from the Field - Terry Tempest Williams
Appetites: Why Women Want - Caroline Knapp
Unbearable Weight: Feminism, Western Culture, and the Body, Tenth Anniversary Edition - Susan Bordo
Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls - Mary Pipher
Harry Potter Boxset Books 1-7 - J. K. Rowling
Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water - Marc Reisner

"Salt" by Kurlansky
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

...but it didn't give me an author... Confusedad:

I read Salt. I thought I reviewed it here, but that must have been some other incarnation of the DOOM forum. Salt was a good read; it made me proud to be Fremontian. Yea, right...
