I imagine there are a lot of readers here. Which book are you
currently reading and what are your thoughts on it?

I just finished "Evil Brothers, A True Crime Story" which was hard to
read. The story revolved around two brothers who killed 9 people and
was suspected in three other murders. All of this happened in Toledo,
Ohio over a two year period.

And you?

I'm reading Oil by Upton Sinclair because I've recently seen the movie
"There will be Blood". I'm only about 50 pages in,
so too soon for thoughts. I'm also reading Basic Brown. It's
a collection of political anecdotes by (with collaboration) Brown, a
recent past Mayor of San Francisco and
Speaker of the California Assembly.

Of course you meant which cookbooks were we currently using or reading?
Being that this is a FOOD group, y'know?

Rick Bayless- Mexico, One Plate at a Time.

_Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance_ Somehow I've never read it

Sinclair is a hero, and Willie is quite a guy himself. Moderate Lefty
thinking seems to be regaining momentum, and it's way overdue. The
cynic in me says that that Obama won't be an only slightly
reconstructed New Dealer, but I hope he is going to turn out to be
more the aggressive populist than the principled Lincoln-type
pragmatist. His rejection of the gas tax holiday, and what he said
about employment in infrastructure in that context gives me hope.
Only hard work and SHARED sacrifice, especially sacrifice by those at
the very top, can restore this country. I, for one, am willing to
help.

Not reading any right now, as I am busy unpacking from my trip home to
New Mexico, and getting ready for my conference next week. But, as
can be expected, I have several on my wish list...and as soon as
things settle down a bit here, I might indulge myself.

One I would like is Arthur Schwartz's book on Jewish comfort food.
Another one is one I keep on hearing about, by Simon Hopkinson: Roast
Chicken and Other Stories.
I can't even begin to list all the others I want to read....LOL

I'm currently re-reading "Joe Celko's SQL for Smarties: Advanced SQL
Programming", since we are implementing some new applications.

As far as cookbooks go, I'm also re-reading "The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook",
just for fun. I don't think I could find hashish for the confection she
detailed. :-)

And a first read of "Mary Berry's Ultimate Cake Book". I love English
cakes.

"The Audacity of Hope," by Barack Obama. To my amazement, he is a really
skilled writer.

What a stupid thing to say. Of course he can write. He's a well educated
and dynamic.
And his stupid wife (also very well educated) keeps putting her foot in
her mouth.

What a stupid thing to say. Hopefully, Obama's command of the English
language surpasses your presentation of the written word. "He's a well
educated and dynamic." He's a well educated and dynamic what?

Well, Anthony...I have just finished a novel by John Grisham..'The Firm'...
It is the first novel of his that I have ever read... It is a 2 novels in
one book... I am about to begin the second novel..'The Pelican Brief'.... I
hope he takes care of the ending a little better than he did in 'The Firm'
though... I enjoyed his book .but felt that the story needed a much more
'descriptive' and explanatory ending than it got!...

And I always have a stack of cook books on the side for when I just sit down
at the table and having a 'cuppa'.. :-)
