November/December book suggestions

I know I said I would get out of my normal element... And so we started to read Canterbury Tales and I chickened out, going back to my normal reading element and reading another girly book... So guess what, folks? THE FIRST BOOK SUGGESTION IS THE BOOK WE ARE GOING TO READ FOR NOVEMBER/DECEMBER... That's right! YOU are choosing the next book. But here is the thing. If you suggest the next book you have to read it as well... I feel like I was the only one who read this one, which is fine, but it's nice to compare with people. So lets here what our next book will be!

Discussion: Julie & Julia

Julie & Julia
My Year of Cooking Dangerously
by Julie Powell

Ok.... Too many "F" words to say the least, but I am liking the book. I am not finished reading it but I thought I would start the discussion.. I had some issues with the book. I didn't need to hear all the sexual things going on with Julie's friends, what did that have to do with cooking or her marriage? Nothing. I didn't like the language or inuendos. What I really enjoyed was the cooking.

I loved hearing about the different dishes she was making and the challenges she faced. She made some of the food sound so good that I put Mastering the Art of French Cooking on my library list. I'm not going to aim for making all recipes in 365 days but I want to try a few. Baked cucumbers sounded yummy!

Cutting my review short since I have to get off. But tell me what you thought of the book! Will the movie be better? I hope so. Its only PG13 so it can't have all those F words. I'm hoping it doesn't dissapoint.
