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
