Love this little tome - chock full of interesting and even surprising flavor pairings. Endless reading for anyone who likes to read cookbooks or about cooking. Great gift idea for the gourmet, gourmand, and home cook in your life.

Well researched historical fiction (this is #2 in a series) set in 1540's London. Plots nefarious doings and murder all in line with actual events of Henry VIII's reign.

Succinct and readable explanation from a respected economist of what caused recessions/depressions/crashes in various nations since the 1980's with a view to explaining what happened in the US economy in 2007-08.

Evans writes like a true storyteller... and the descriptions of the newsrooms he worked in back in the day of hot metal are fascinating. This is a read you just can't put down!

This one I can re-read and have many times. The presicion of Austen's language coupled with her trenchant character observations make for a fresh read everytime.

A sensitive telling of the absolute horror that was the five month-long Battle of the Somme in 1916. Gilbert intersperses the names and fates of numberous soldiers, mostly British, bringing home the reality that real people of flesh and blood fought and died in that corner of hell in WWI France.

A brutal story told with care and precision. A good discussion title.
