I just had to stop in the middle. I couldn't bear to read any more putdowns and sad commentary on the British. This author has some serious issues going on that are causing him to have such a negative take on those around him and life in general.

Too bad because he does a good job of the research into the places he goes, but his relationships with the people he observes are so reflective of his own emotional state, it sad. I'm going to have to hang it up on any more of his books. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79979143 The Art Student's War (Hardcover) by Brad Leithauser

by Anthony Bourdain

Your basic French classic cookbook written and narrated in Bourdain's own inimitable style. Recipes don't seem daunting and he supports you all the way thru the long, involved ones by suggesting when to stop and have a glass of wine. I like that! ]]>
