Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates

Fierce invalids Home From Hot Climates, by Tom Robbins, reminded me how much I enjoy his writing--so quirky, so irreverent, so provocative. I now think I've read all of his books, but I am motivated to Google to make sure! I chose this book because Robbins is Katie Jo's boyfriend's favorite author and I was racing through the library on my way to the airport! I'm glad!

A Paris Christmas - Immoveable Feast by John Baxter

A neighbor who knows I love food and traveling decided this book would be perfect for me. And it is a fun book. It's basically the story of the preparations and planning for Christmas dinner by an Australian man who is mararied to a French woman. The best parts were the descriptions of the cheeses, breads, and wines of Paris. Warning... don't read this book if you're trying to diet! I found I couldn't read it without having the urge to nibble on something.
