First off, I hope this comes out right as my whole screen has been translated to Arabic and I am going by memory if I am posting correctly! Even my Yahoo page is in Arabic - may be time to learn the language! How weird to be doing everything from right to left.
I just finished another dumb book...another "National Bestseller!!" "The Cookbook Collector" by Allegra Goodman had such promise for a good read, but the author seemed to try to get every type of situation in a story she could think of. Love story, Berkley students sitting in the redwood forests, sit-ins, betrayal, re-discovery of a Jewish heritage, the dot com rise and fall, 9/11 lost love, dysfunctional family... what else. Oh yes! The plot! So easy to loose (or ever find) in this saga. I think the statement the author was trying to make was to beware if you are being loved or being part of a collection? I don't know - I don't recommend it and will give the book away to the refugee center here.
