Julie & Julia - My
Year of Cooking Dangerously
Nearing 30 and trapped in a
dead-end secretarial job, Julie Powell resolved to reclaim
her life by cooking, in the span of a single year, every one
of the 524 recipes in Julia Child's legendary Mastering the
Art of French Cooking. Her unexpected reward: not just a
newfound respect for calves' livers and aspic, but a new
life--lived with gusto.
About the Author
After spending a long, long time working as a temp, Julie
Powell now writes in her pajamas in Long Island City,
Queens, where she shares a "loft" apartment with her
husband, Eric.

Three Cups of Tea
"The first
time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger," a
villager tells Greg Mortenson. "The second time, you are an
honored guest. The third time you become family." An
inspirational story of one man's efforts to address poverty,
educate girls, and overcome cultural divides.
Three Cups,
which won the 2007 Kiriyama Prize for nonfiction, reveals
the enormous obstacles inherent in becoming such "family."
Despite the important message, critics quibbled over the
awkward prose and some melodrama. After all, a story as
dramatic and satisfying as this should tell itself.
