[Vision2020] book recommendation-and more

[Michael Curley]

Pat, Keely, and All:
I reply because I see that others may share my thought that food, if 
not the universal language itself, at least shares that distinction 
with music.  For a visual feast with your reading, I suggest "Eat, 
Drink, Man, Woman" which is rentable at Howard Hughes, the movie 
store, and perhaps Bookpeople too.  Of course, if you understand 
Mandarin, you will not have to read the subtitles and can more fully 
enjoy the video only...

It is with trepidation that I post this because we could really clog
the system with books that are a good read. However, I enjoyed the
book "Near a Thousand Tables" by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto. I also got
it through Bookpeople and its history of food was fascinating. I will
be putting in an order for your offering Keely and I thank you.

Oops . . . make that Tom Standage, not Stoddard.  Stoddard is, I
believe, the wine critic who died in a plane crash a few years ago.

On a totally different front, and hoping that it's OK in Visionland 
to
recommend good stuff, I would recommend a wonderful book I'm reading
called "A History of the World in Six Glasses" by Tom Stoddard.  It
traces the history of civilization through beer, wine, spirits,
coffee, tea and Coca-Cola (I was saddened to learn that my childhood
favorite, Orange Crush, is significant only to me and has had scant
little effect on the rest of the world . . . ).  It's well written,
entertaining, and offers a fascinating take on the importance of what
people drink, produce, condemn and embrace.

I bet the good folks at BookPeople would be glad to order you a copy
-- it's well worth it.

Enjoying a nice glass of Pinot Grigio as my salute to history,
