    Cooking for Mr. Latte by Amanda Hesser. It made me realize that I need to check my food snobbiness at the door. I should just revel in the discussion and expression of food as a joyful experience. Food, music, and good conversation - that's the best that life has to offer, eh? :)

    Just finished an art book about "Symbolism" by Micheal Gibson.....one of those Taschen art editions. Interesting & the art was fantastic, but the writing was kind of dry. Read about some artists I've never heard of before & got a bit educated in art history. Looking for a new book to read now....I read alot.

    Also finished "Run With the Hunted: A Charles Bukowski Reader" a week ago....had to put it aside now & again cuz Bukowski can get a little depressing after a while but a good collection of his work. There's some good poetry in that one.

    I still haven't finished His Dark Materials. The last book is kind of boring, so now I've started reading House Atreides, from the prelude to Due series. It's awesome.

    Finished Harry Potter 7 on Friday.

    Now reading "Sharp Objects" by Gillian Flynn. Really good and creepy so far.

    Also still reading "Flags of our Fathers" (excellent) and still trying to finish "The Historian" (good but hard to get through).
