A Good Year
Peter Mayle
Vintage, 2006
A good time with this book
Have you ever been to Provence? Non? Do you know the French? Non? If you haven't and you don't, then this short time with Max Skinner might not be as much fun as it was for me. Not only have I been to Provence, but I stayed in Montpelier for a month and made many ...

Acquired Tastes
Peter Mayle
Bantam, 1993
Hedonism at high level
I used to think as a big disadvantage to live in a small and poor country as Chile. However, Mr. Mayle's book demonstrated me that living in a "third world country" has some advantages. First of all, if you can afford some of the pleasures described on this book, ...

A Year in Provence
Peter Mayle
Vintage, 1991
Part Travelogue; Part Love Letter
I'm probably the last person in the world to read this charming book. My interest was stirred by the Russell Crowe film A GOOD YEAR which has been running on the premium channels for the last two months.
The movie is heartwarming, witty, and full of sweet charm. ...

Where Did I Come From?
Peter Mayle
Lyle Stuart, 2000
Classic for small children
This book is a classic for explaining the birds and the bees to small kids. It's illustrated in a cartoony, friendly style and explains sex in a way that's comprehensible from a child's point of view. I don't think it crosses the line of what an average parent would ...

Anything Considered: A Novel
Peter Mayle
Vintage, 1997
Should be sold as a script.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, which was my first introduction to Peter Mayle. It has caused me to go and purchase all of his other books...non-fiction as well. I think this would make a great movie, provided that the producers stuck to the manuscript.
