Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands

This is stunning, honestly. Like most Extremely Online people I've been a fan of Kate Beaton for a long time, and I remember seeing bits of Ducks in progress online awhile ago, but as a whole it's staggering. Not as LOL-funny as Hark A Vagrant, but so thoughtful and empathetic. And knowing about her sister Becky's death from cancer (outside the scope of the book) made reading about her relationship with Becky (and their frequent speculation about the health effects of working in the oil sands...) hit even harder. A great memoir and a great look at the environmental, economic, ethical, etc impacts of the oil industry on both a micro- and macro-level.
