i am so excited about my newest book to read! it sounds very intriguing, and plus it takes place at per se, the 2nd of thomas keller's restaurants (the owner/chef of french laundry...a restaurant i'd like to eat at before i die). it was on NY Times list of 100 books to read (for 2007).

i also got water for elephants and i can't remember who recommended this book to me! whoever it was, thanks!

other books on my amazon wishlist include: eat pray love, highly recommended by a coworker, the eighth promise, found after reading about another book on that NY Times list, and then we came to the end, again from NY Times list.

so many books to read...do i have time?! this is when i really wish i commuted on a train or something, that's the best time to read for me! oh well, it'll have to just be weekends i guess, unless the writer's strike goes on forever, then i'll have to start reading during weeknights!
