Eat This, Not That by David Zinczenko
And if you feel the need to continue to stop at McD's et al, here is a helpful little guide to direct you to the best choices on the menu.
Fiction
Tree Of Smoke by Denis Johnson
The winner of the National Book Award is the story of a black ops unit in the horror and tumult of the Vietnam war.
People Of The Book by Geraldine Brooks
Following up her Pulitzer Prize awarded March, this fictional account chronicles the real-life journey of the authentic Sarajevo Haggadah which is now safely housed in the National Museum at Sarajevo.
World Without End by Ken Follett
A sequel to his newly rediscovered Pillars of the Earth, Follett continues the story of the gothic cathedral two centuries later. The books each stand alone and do not need to be read together or in sequence, but for your reading pleasure, the library now owns both.
