Julia Child!

I just started reading "My Life in France" by Julia Child and Alex Prud'Homme.  This is such a wonderful memoir!  Her beautifully detailed descriptions of the food, Paris, France in general, the people she met and her total love of everything French are mesmerizing.  I can hardly put it down! 

A New Year!

Okay, I've been remiss in posting on this blog.  It happens.  Recently finished Mr. King's latest 11/22/63.  Amazing.  That's all.  The crazy amount of detail put into that book makes you feel like you're there.  I couldn't read the book fast enough because I was dying to find out what happend.   Then, as soon as I was finished I wanted to start all over and read it again, slower, to savor the details.  I haven't done that yet, but I'm sure I will.  I rarely read a Stephen King book only once.  Also, since the Gunslinger series is being made into a movie, it is my resolution this year to finally read them.  I had attempted to a long time ago but ended up not even finishing the first book.  Now that I'm about half-way through that first book, I'm not sure what I didn't like about it the first time.  I've been enjoying it quite a bit. 

Also, you should all read "Ghost Story" by Peter Straub.  Scary. 

Happy 2012 to everyone!
