Mostly from the latest Readings catalogue:
- Barbara Kingsolver’s latest, on Trotsky and art, The Lacuna
- Parrot and Olivier in America, Peter Carey’s historical, novelistic gaze at USA
- From a great novelist, a personal exploration of vegetariansim, Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals
- I’m not sure where I found this, but I was drawn to David Kessler’s The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite because he apparently claims evidence for the addictiveness of sugar/fat/salt
