What's it about?

It's about the time Julia Child, MFK Fischer, James Beard and others got together in Provence and subsequently changed the way Americans think about food and eating. They took American cuisine beyond Jell-O salad and casseroles made with condensed soup and basically started the foodie culture.

It's taking me a while because of work, but it's good.

For work:

Is it safe to assume NOS4A2 is about vampires?

He's a very old man who rides around in an antique Rolls with that license plate. He kidnaps kid and steals their life forces to stay young. BUT one girl escaped, so he's still pursuing her as an adult.

Joe Hill is Stephen King's son.
It's my guilty pleasure.

Alexander McCall Smith is the writer I want to be when I grow up.

I have become such a slow reader.


Still reading:
Feast for Crows

BTW - I pre-ordered a signed copy through B&N of THIS:

Proof of Heaven

a Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife

by Eben Alexander, M.D.

Good news, despite being an Episcopalian, Dr Alexander has yet to mention Jesus Christ and I am on page 88. (I have also flipped through the rest of the book and do not see any mention of Christ).

I am also FINALLY reading the Harry Potter books. I am on the second one.

I was in my late 30's when the books came out. i would have loved them when I was a child.

the org

I finished Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow two weeks ago.

After that, I plowed through four fairly light-weightl books. It may seem like a lot to go through in two weeks, but these were really very fluffy, almost National Enquirer level political reads, easy to digest in a few evenings or an afternoon.

Game Change (2008 US election summary)

Riding the Orange Wave (Cdn politics, written by NDP campaign mgr)

Double Down (2012 US election summary)

Rebel to Realist (very brief e-book biography of Cdn Prime Minister Stephen Harper)

I just started Zealot, the Life & Times of Jesus of Nazareth by Reza Aslan last night.

Clever, fun read for the commute to and from the office...

[Edited 3/8/14 8:04am]

Smut, flat out romantic smut.

The org...

I don't really read books. I just stack them in piles next to my bed.

This is on the top of the pile, though, and I'm enjoying it so far (though I'm only at the end of the first chapter).

aren't they fun? the books get a little darker as the series develops but you have hours of good fun ahead of you. the movies also rock.
