Barnyard In Your Backyard
| Good basic overview of a lot of different types of domestic animals. You probably need more specific books once you decide what you want, but this is a good way to figure out what's involved with particularly animals. | 3/11/2008 |

How Movies Helped Save My Soul: Finding Spiritual Fingerprints in Culturally Significant Films

The Summer Tree
| This is the first book of The Fionavar Tapestry Series. One of those where people get pulled out of Earth to another dimension, which I tend to like (Chronicles of Narnia, Thomas Covenant to name two others). | 7/13/2004 |

Faith of the Fallen (Sword of Truth, Book 6)

Le Cordon Bleu Complete Cooking Techniques
| Not so much reading as using. Tons of photos and great instruction on useful culinary techniques. Especially helpful is how to prepare (carving, filleting, stuffing) various seafood, fish, poultry, etc. Lots of basic recipes as well. | 8/12/2002 |

Anthony Bourdain
|
Kitchen Confidential
| I cooked my way through the end of high school and most of college. Lately I've been considering getting back into the biz. After seeing Bourdain on the Food Network "Cook's Tour" show, I really wanted to read some of his stuff. This book tells it like it is and if you've ever cooked (or worked in food service), it will be even more enjoyable. | 7/8/2002 |

The Hitchcock Murders
| Picked this up in London. The paperback won't be out in the US until Sept. 2002. I've read a lot about Hitchcock (he's my favorite director) and this is one of the better critical books on him. I like the fact that it touches on movies from his entire career, not just the critics faves and shows how Hitchcock had a few major themes he kept repeating. | 7/8/2002 |

Hitchcock's Notebooks
| Hitchcock himself didn't keep a lot of notes, but luckily his assistants kept notes on all kinds of things. He did write letters and some of those are included. Fascinating look inside the legend's mind and how he approached directing. | 5/10/2002 |
