Any books you can reccomend?

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.

Very poetic.

A great analogy that relates to reading and food. I am not worthy of your greatness 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

Thanks benji for your suggestions.

Why read books when you have a wonderful forum full of great topics (ahem) to read?

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'll read converse's autobiography anytime.

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.

He changed his name again. Are you an e-criminal hiding here?

I'm now comfortable in this name.All i need is just a logo and it will be permanent

Then you have to MS Paint it now.

It isn't possible.Photoshop is the way.

Currently reading: Pride and Prejudice
Next on my list: Wicked
Want to read: Me Talk Pretty One Day

I used to love those books.... Back in grade 7.

Its his new book it was published in 07. The only reason why im reading is because he signed it and i paid 20 bucks for the book

Want to read: Me Talk Pretty One Day

David Sedaris, nice.

I'm reading the Young Lions by Irwin Shaw, it's pretty good, and pretty damn long.

Aside from that, I read The Salmon of Doubt by Douglas Adams when I'm on the toilet.

Douglas Adams rules, and reading him on the toilet somehow adds to the whole experience.

I've read Star Wars: The Cestus Deception (alright, enough with Star Wars already)

KiteRunner!

Incredible book so far.
