The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution
Alice Waters
Clarkson Potter, 2007
deceptively simple, the recipes are gems
I flipped through the pages of this cookbook 3 or 4 times at the bookstore before I was even interested in cooking from it. When you browse the book, it looks so boring--all these recipes that you've cooked already, though not Alice Waters' version. But once I tried a ...

The Appeal
John Grisham
Doubleday, 2008
Overly Political and not Grisham's best
I think the name of my review says it all. While I have not read all of Grisham's books this is the first that I have read that has a clear political message - it yells "HANDS OFF TORT REFORM" and "JUDGES NEED TO BE APPOINTED".

Interesting book. Originally published in 1976, it's short and sweet- and actually held together by two staples. Readers may also know this "master cleansing" diet and "the lemonade diet." Having said that....
