Poor MEP!<BR/><BR/>I can't recall who brought the "White People" thing to my attention (I'm thinking it was either NY Mag or NPR) but I do know I reviewed several items on the list and was busting a gut. I will be checking out the book for sure!Actchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320025313541534433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-88732316408561140812008-12-08T10:54:00.000-06:002008-12-08T10:54:00.000-06:00I'll have to look some of these up.

As usual, though, I forgot to write it down and haven't yet done so. Following your glowing recommendation, I will most certainly put it on my must-read list. Also, Last Night at the Lobster. I, too, worked in an "upscale" chain restaurant that likely shares many characteristics with The Lobster. As a fellow human being (and softie) :), I suspect I will like this one, too.<BR/><BR/>On an aside, have you seen the blog www.livingoprah.com. It's a woman who has vowed to live for one year on the advice of Oprah, books, food, whatever. It's interesting.

I am LOVING Last Night at the Lobster so far. <BR/>I purchased Loving Frank to give as a Christmas gift, and am thinking now I may have to rethink it -- while I can subject myself to a shock, not sure if I can deliver it to someone else. <BR/>I'm intrigued by your categories, and having read I think one on each list, I'm interested in checking out the others. I too, am concerned about the state of young womanhood and don't need to increase the concern, so I'll stay away from that one.E...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04405932437380095945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-82109551337367882472008-12-07T11:34:00.000-06:002008-12-07T11:34:00.000-06:00I will repeat the following quote from today's pos...I will repeat the following quote from today's post:<BR/>"Lander's book started as a blog."<BR/>Hint, hint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
