#43 Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook".
Check this one out I think you like it.
I just started "The Black Swan". I've been wanting to read it and it is now out in Kindle. Has anyone an opinion of it? Is it in the genre of "Outliers" and "Tipping Point"?
I use this group to challenge myself to keep reading. I actually don't pay any attention to what others are reading unless I am specifically looking for new suggestions.
#42 "The Pleasure of Cooking for One" Judith Jones.Lovely book with great recipes for one person with a French flair. Very nice layout and pictures.
#41 "The Girl Who Played with Fire" Stieg Larsson.
Yeah, #40"Dark Star Safari" Paul Theroux
Some times I want to throw his book across the room he is so cynical and mean-spirited about humankind, but I keep on reading.
#39 "The English Major" Jim Harrison
#38 "The Sweet Life in Paris" David Lebovitz.
#37 "The Vintage Caper" Peter Mayle. His latest, a light mystery set in LA, Paris and Provence. A good quick read.
#36 "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo". Steig Larsson. Interesting from my point of view of a novel set in Sweden. I don't think I've read a book in this setting. I'm eager to read another of this author's books. He died in 2004, as I understand.
#34 "Rowing the Atlantic" Roz Savage#35 "Sag Harbor" Colson Whitehead
#33 Ghost Train to the Eastern Star" Paul Theroux
#32 " The Lost Symbol" Dan Brown
#30 "The Pull of the Moon" Elizabeth Berg#31 "That Old Cape Magic" Richard Russo
#29 "The Night Following" Morag Joss
#28 "We'll Always Have Paris" John Baxter
# 27 "Shanghai Girls"
#26 "The Help" Kathryn Stockett. This is an incredible book. I don't know when I have been so emotionally touched by a story.
Try the Cara Black series set in Paris. The protagonist is Aimee Leduc, private investigator. Fun reads. "Murder in the Bastille","Murder in the Morais", etc.
