If you are in a silly mood, you should have great fun with
_Chocolate : The Consuming Passion_ by Boynton, of greeting card fame.

From the book:
'Anyone who would claim that the absence of the liquor disqualifies
white chocolate as chocolate is quibbling; the same purist would
probably argue that fructose and water is not "real" orange juice.'

I laughed out loud many times.

A classic! Every serious chocoholic should own this book. My favourite
line:

"Note: if the pig becomes uncooperative at this point, you will have to
abandon the project."

Those who have the book will know what I'm talking about there...

Seriously, it also contains some decent info, presented in a lighthearted
manner.
