Wonderful book so far by one of my absolute favorite people on Earth.

I've been meaning to buy that. Bourdain is my kind of pompous New Yorker. I love his show, its always a great treat.
No Reservantions is one of the few shows that I truly love to watch. Bourdain is such a snarky *******, it's hard not to enjoy watching him.

I've been meaning to read the book as well. I'll get around to it one of these days.

It's pretty similar to what I read while I was in high school in Canada and the US.

Nobody answered my last comment, but it just got interesting.

Picked it up at a some sort of used goods store for half a buck. Purple prose, imperialism, casual racism, oh my!

I just finished White Teeth, and for an author with a good sense of humour who writes so well, **** was it a dull read.

Haha whoops, my bad, but we did read that one and I ended up listing it as a Shakespeare book when I meant it as an upperclassmen book as a whole. Foolish drunkenness pushes me to moronic musicbanter posts once again...

Damn, is that the one that you said was taking a long time to read on goodreads?
The cover looked so inviting.

I'm not one for murder mysteries but I really enjoyed this one. I suppose that's why it's touted as the best selling murder mystery of all time :p

It is a good book. Too bad about the original title (and cover design) though:

Like I said, casual racism. I've only just started it, but it already described someone as having "Semitic lips."

Oh, Agatha Christie, you racist you.
