So so so pretty and fun! I need to cook from it soon!

Bizarre and amazing. What is it about? Does it matter? Does water? Do we?

This was a re-read. The books get less interesting as Adrian gets older, but it’s a pleasure to hang out with such a lovably hapless misfit.

Wow! This was really engaging to watch. Creepy, riveting, the whole nine yards. I was very pleasantly surprised.

I think I need to buy this one. Not so much for the sausage section, because I’m not so much on the sausage making (eating yes!) but to do all the lovely, lovely curing and smoking.

What a lovely book for the hard core carnivore.

This was a pleasant and quick read with a sort-of chaotic and fun plot. Not much meat to it, but that little glimmer of madness makes the caper stick a little bit more than it might otherwise.

This book is weird. And not very good. And about Elian Gonzales and Cuban refugees and … what? WHAT? It’s weird.

I enjoyed this but am not that inspired to bake from it. Interesting head-notes, and lots of recipes that sound show-stopping, but not that much that screamed ‘make me!’ is all…

The second half of this book makes the first half’s slog worthwhile. It’s an interesting take on characters from two angles, a bizarre mix of times and styles and contexts. I like the reflections on perception, on good and evil, on history;s role on the future.

This album is fabulous for throwing yourself bonelessly around the dancefloor while playing a huge imaginary guitar, organ, and drumset simultaneously, and freaking out your cat.
