    I just finished Murder Your Employer by Rupert Holmes. I highly recommend it.

    Alan Hooker

    "Vegetarian Gourmet Cookery" is a content-driven cookbook that extols the virtues of becoming aware and perceptive about food rather than just eating it to satisfy the pangs of hunger. Its recipes are full of texture and flavor! Based upon Hooker's extensive foreign travels and decades of experimentation, the result is over 600 dishes served at the world renowned Ranch House restaurant in Ojai, California.

    It’s starting off more religious than I expected. Reminds me of Dorothy Sayers’ Mind of the Maker. My takeaway from that book is that we are made in the image of the Creator and so are creators ourselves. There was more to it than that but I’m a bear of very little brain. (It was really an exploration of the Christian belief in the Trinity.) Anyway, this one seems interesting.

    I read this 30 years ago. Where do the years go? I read the Goldfinch a few years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed that. I believe it won a Pulitzer.

    It's entertaining so far! I'm just a few chapters in.
    I was reading PhillipKDick in high school (just because I had read it was Keanu Reeves favorite, haha). I definitely would have enjoyed this one, more!

    One I read this year and really liked, on mental illness, "Strangers to Ourselves: Unsettled Minds and the Stories That Make Us" by Rachel Aviv.

    Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath”

    Both amazing and soul crushing.

    There’s a reason it’s deemed a masterpiece.

    How spooky is it that I put my hand on that book on my shelf this evening and when asked if I’d already read it I had to say no. This was about an hour and a half ago. So weird.

    I'm in for a Grapes of Wrath book club! I haven't read Steinbeck since I was a kid and had to read The Red Pony for school. Loved that one!
