I love reader suggestions!

I want to thank Karen who suggested Deconstructing Penguins: Parents, Kids, and the Bond of Reading in response to my parent and child book clubs post. As Karen writes,

"It focuses on book clubs for 2nd and 3rd graders and their parents, with books such as Mr. Popper’s Penguins (hence the title), Charlotte’s Web and Babe. Highly recommended."

This in turn lead me (via Amazon) to Welcome to Lizard Motel: Children, Stories, and the Mystery of Making Things Up and Raising a Reader: A Mother’s Tale of Desperation and Delight

So I’ve ordered them from the library and hope to get to them next week after I finish Anthony Bourdain’s The Nasty Bits: Collected Varietal Cuts, Usable Trim, Scraps, and Bones. (There’s nothing sexier than a man who can cook and write.)

If any of you have suggestions – whether it’s an activity, a recipe, or a favorite book (kid or adult) – please email me at readablefeast@gmail.com. Feel free to suggest a topic, too!

   Sigh…my hero, Chef Bourdain. I dont think of him in lusty terms. Rather, I fancy Anthony as the adventuous older brother I never had, the one who ran off to Europe in 1971, hung out on Greek islands with Swedish chicks, then headed over to Provence and returned with enviable skills in classical French cooking.

   He got caught in Beirut this week. I believe he was doing an episode for “No Reservations”. I hope he’s safe. I can’t lose my older brother.
