I have read the first three chapters of an I interlibrary loan book that finally arrived. I had given up so it was a nice surprise. Anyway, the book is A Scavenger's Guide to Haute Cuisine by Steven Rinella. The story is about Rinella hunting and fishing for ingredients to recipes from Escoffier's 1903 classic Le Guide Culinaire, culminating in the cooking of 45 courses over three days.

Just finished The Martian (Recommended) and Omaha Beach (Joseph Balkoski).
If anyone wants a comprehensive book on Omaha Beach look no further then Balkoski. He is a fantastic writer and I would recommend his D-Day books over all of the others I have read. Very descriptive with first hand accounts and maps of the events.

The movie was intense. I'm sure the book will be all the more so...

Tonight I'll start reading, " Cobras In His Garden" by Harry Kursh. The biography of William E. Haast. Know as Bill Haast of the Miami Serpentarium. I just watched, 3 weeks ago, a home video of him milking a King Cobra & his assistant placed a large black snake around my neck, I was 5 years old.

Cormac McCarthy is one of my favorite authors. I've read everything he has written and will probably read them again. Originally Posted by JoeSomebody

"Maybe I'm dead," Valdez said. "Am I dead?" He could see the children of Diego Luz behind their father, in the doorway.
"You looked near to it. Somebody stabbed you in the back."
"No, a tree did that."
Diego Luz nodded. "A tree. What kind of tree is it does that?"
Elmore Leonard

I'm pretty happy when I find a good Western. I've read a lot of Elmore Leonard but this is the first Western. Atta boy cowboy!"Call me Ishmael"
