5.0
It could have been a big disappointment;
it wasn't. The Book Lover's Cookbook
is a book of recipes based on foods
described in books. I was surprised
at all the books that included foods
in the plot. Just about all my favorite
books seemed to be here. Recommended.
Favorite Quote: All kinds of delicious (sorry) book
quotes here, too. Here are a couple:
"Reading is the work of the alert mind,
is demanding, and under ideal conditions
produces finally a sort of ecstasy."
E.B. White
"Handle them carefully, for words have
more power than atom bombs." Pearl S. Hurd
"The thing I love about language is that
when you do it well, you have the ability
as a writer to seduce readers---but
sometimes you also have the ability to
seduce yourself. The pleasure of the
language, the ability to put words together
in what strikes you as just the right
fashion---I love it." Richard Russo
