Fast Food Nation1397 reviews
Eric Schlosser

Harper Perennial, 2005

Unexpected, but enjoyable.
I will warn all of you future readers: this is a great book and is rather historical in content. Contrary to my common thought that this whole book was bashing the fast food industry, it really did neither. Instead he really shows how fast food originated, how it affects industry (especially industrial agriculture), and why we love it so much. Fast food infiltrates everyday life for much of the ...

Sail11 reviews
James Patterson, Howard Roughan

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Moves Quickly With Trademark Killer Twists
James Patterson and Howard Roughan have produced another winning beach read guaranteed to keep the pages turning. SAIL is a stand-alone novel instead of one of his series (Alex Cross, Women's Murder Club), and has the added facet that everyone is at risk in this one. Nobody has to come back for the sequel, and some of the characters don't. Cardiac surgeon Anne Dunne has been stressed out by ...

Roger Fisher, William L. Ury

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1991

For the Person Who Wants to Expand The Pie of Negotiation Skills
In the fields of negotiation and mediation, one small book has had a tremendous impact. Published in 1981, Roger Fisher and William Ury's book, Getting to Yes, introduced the concept of "principled" or "interest-based" bargaining. It is difficult to find a negotiation or mediation course that does not reference this landmark text. It is one of the most well-known works in negotiation ...

Zebra, 2008

Fast Track
I was so excited to read another "Rules of the Game/Sisterhood" book. They have become a little predictable, but are still very entertaining; always good for laughs. Easy read that will have you finishing it in no time at all. I can't wait to see what the girls and their guys will get ingo next. The only thing that I didn't like was that it had to end.

Nigella Express: 130 Recipes for Good Food, Fast43 reviews
Nigella Lawson

Hyperion, 2007

Express way into my tummy
I was actually surprised that Nigella came out with this new cooking concept, making her favorites with short cuts, suddenly being impatient and saving time while still having parties and cooking dinners ever night for her family. Honestly I never found her recipes hard, I enjoyed making everything the proper way but I have to say its fun to find way to cheat I guess, making mousses without all ...

Genuinely fast, genuinely good food
This book is going on my shelf with the half dozen or so cookbooks I intend to keep till I'm carted out of the house feet first. With a few storecupboard exceptions such as canned beans, canned tomatoes, and bottled ready-roasted peppers, all of the main ingredients for the recipes are fresh. The recipes are indeed easy and fast, and really, really appetising. Unlike my experience with ...
