Oh, snap. I totally thought this would be a The Books thread.
On topic, though, I'm currently reading Whose Freedom? by George Lakoff. The subtitle is "The Battle Over America's Most Important Idea". Should give you a good idea what it's about.
The other book I'm reading is Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels. I'm only like 2 chapters into it, so I'm not too sure what it's about entirely yet.

Now I get it.
You eat a lot because you read a lot.
Reading is so tiring.
Talented in basketball.
Food lover.
Appreciative of the written word.
You are a renaissance man.
You truly are a MVP.

First, that you finish the seven you are reading at one time.
Then I suggest these to you personally:
Kitchen Confidential
A Cook's Tour
The Nasty Bits
Heat

I'm reading Mao - The Unknown Story (Jung Chang&Jon Halliday) right now. It's a very good biography and I'd recommend it to anyone who's into Chinese history and wants to know what a real life communism looks like. Purges FTW.

I'm reading the dictionary. Under highly advanced spam-bot it has a picture of you.
Seriously though, I'm reading "How to fix your eyes without corrective lenses" or something like that. I'm trying to get rid of the mild myopia that I developed. It's annoying not being able to see things very clearly.
