Beer and Bagels for Breakfast

by John Carson

A funny, truthful and sharp-witted account of a young man's experiences on a kibbutz. A story of adventure and misadventure, the discovery of a different kind of living, written from the viewpoint of a young man just out of college and ready for (almost) anything.

[Jonathan Nicholas · Rating 3 out of 5]

I discovered this book several years ago trawling the Internet. There are very few books about the kibbutz experience. Sadly I was a little disappointed in this as John just seems to have sent his diary off to the printers as it was originally written. I have to thank John for this though, because it prompted me to write my own book from my diary I kept when living at kibbutz Dafna. Kibbutz Virgin is now a best seller!
