Julia Child - I think I would have liked to party with you!

Just finished the Julia Child book, My Life in France. I quite liked her and I spent a bit of time watching YouTube clips of her TV show and other interviews. I think I would like to play her in a play one day (I think I could do it). I also think I would have liked to party with her - she sounded like fun and the food would be awesome!! I thought about buying the book Mastering the Art of French Cooking, but I have no time to cook, so maybe in a few years.... when I have more free time... ha ha ha. I do want to see Julie and Julia now.

Not sure what to read next. I have a Jonathon Kellerman thriller, Evidence, that might be nice light junk food reading for me. I'll let you know!

Good Food...

Now I am reading about Julia Child with her book (co-authored by Alex Prud'homme) My Life in France. I'll let you know how it goes.

The Book Thief...

I picked up The Book Thief by Markus Zusak a week or so ago because it had been on my radar for a little while and I saw it and nothing much else that interested me while I was killing time in a Chapters. I was a little worried when I started it 5 days ago because of the opening style and the narrative voice was a little unexpected, but once I got into it I was hooked. This morning, while getting a pedicure, I finished the book and felt the tears. I am not sure what the ladies in the salon thought. It was a lovely and sad read. I highly recommend.
