jaysaint Getting it all down on paper…

Next up on the book list:
I’m Just Here for the Food by Alton Brown. It’s a cookbook, sort of. It’s really a chemistry/food theory book with some recipes thrown in. Except a lot more interesting than that sounds.

In other news, The Balled of Fat Sam and Zoe is coming to a close. Next month Damon, Fat Sam and I are flying to Florida. Sammy will take up residence with my heroic parents until Zoe goes off to college. And Sam is flying in the cabin with us. God help us all.

I’ve just finished reading Female Chauvanist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture by Ariel Levy.

It was a good one for me to read, as I’ve always been of two minds about things like porn and strippers and, more subtle, the ways any woman uses sex for power. Which is something I have not been above at times. There’s so much more to say, but it’s my bedtime.

I’m going to do my best to keep up with all the books I read in 2007. I find that I don’t log them here because I feel like I need to compose a good entry about the book, and I don’t always have time. And then I forget. So I’m going to free myself from the obligation to note anything other than title and author.

So the first book I finished this year was Cesar’s Way by Cesar Milan. I didn’t know he came to this country as an illegal immigrant. He spoke not one word of English and lived on the street for a while. Considering how well he’s done, I’d say we’re lucky to have him. We don’t have a dog, but I’m mesmerized by Cesar and watch his Nat Geo show all the time.
