[quote user="jay"]I have just started "Kitchen Confidential, Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly" by Anthony Bourdain. Great read so far. You will never eat swordfish again...[/quote]</P>
Great book. All of his books are really wonderful. I just bought The Nasty Bits a few weeks ago but have not started it yet. I was told that it was great as well. He had a show on the Food Network, not sure if it is still on there...

He still has the show, it's called No Reservations. I love how he is just a normal guy and tells it like it is. Funny as hell too. Nasty Bits is next on my list.</P>

Bourdain may not be the best chef (was Les Halles ever good?); but, he knows how to cook, run a kitchen and is a great personality.Comment

I don't want to sound pompous, but the title story is the best war short story ever written, and maybe one of the best short stories ever written. So humane, it was hard not to cry.</p>Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

I wish I hadn't read Huck Finn so I could have that feeling again. This is the one thing I really do hate about getting older. There are inevitably fewer and fewer books left to read that are going to make me feel like my emotional world has been revolutionised.

Re: What are you reading?
This book talks about behavioral economics. How we think we make sensible choice when we take economical decisions (shopping for example), when in reality we are not. A good (and quick) read. Definitely will allow me to slow down on some not-so-smart shopping. A good read for the members of the RSG thread. </p>
