it’s a month till the deadline of my 101 things in 1001 days list expires. some things (volcanos? autocaravans?) are beyond hope… but there might still be just enough time for others – like the books i wanted to read.
i know… 50 books in 3 years is a pretty laughable goal… and yet i struggle. the reason i have trouble reaching it? fan fiction. why must the internet be filled with talented writers, who put my favourite characters in tons of fascinating situations?!
so i’m reaching out to you and asking for suggestions. which books should i read this month? i need quick, entertaining reads to drag me away from this fan fiction’s addiction… bonus points if they feature food or stationery-related themes! :D

Have you read any of Michael Pollan’s books? The Botany of Desire is truly lovely!
@Jonathan: I’ve read Food Rules some months ago and quite liked it – adding The Botany of Desire to the reading list. Thanks for the suggestion! :)
Oh, I see you’ve read Food Rules :-) Still, The Botany of Desire is lovely. Glad you’re a Bourdain fan too. He’s a lot of fun.
I would go with something in very light vein… consider:
“Where the Wild Things are”
“The Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar”
“Cat in the Hat”
“Horton Hears a Who”
They are all short, but are significant pieces of work in their own right, and will take you to a happy place every time you read them.

How about Relish? It’s a very nice read, and I bet you can finish it in a day :)

@jouimaria: relish has actually been on my to-read list for a really long time! must get it :)
What about some good old JLB? Borges is always a treat for me :)
Are comic books allowed? I love the travel chronicles of Guy Delisle… funny, informative and easy to read

I can lend it to you if you want :)
