Okay, so gardening doesn't always save you money, but as this hilarious horticultural memoir by an avid green thumber (and great storyteller) proves, it makes you rich in other ways. Your tomatoes may end up costing you $64 a piece, but who can put a price on education? Like learning the valuable lesson that a man's got to know his limitations.

Even if you never plant a seed in your life, The $64 Tomato will give you a healthy appreciation of the fact that we will never be able to completely control Mother Earth.
