| 2. |  | Whitebread Protestants: Food and Religion in American Culture from Palgrave Macmillan Price: $28.75 Customer Review:  The title of this book led me to think it would be about religion and consumption, and would have some connection to the growing literature on food and society, food history, and the origins of American food traditions. Instead the book is very narrow - it deals mainly with the tradition of... |

| 3. |  | Women Who Eat: A New Generation on the Glory of Food (Live Girls Series) from Seal Press Price: $12.76 Customer Review: This is one of the better food anthologies I have read. The quality of writing here is so consistently good that I suspect the hand of an especially competent editor is involved. Among my favorite essays in this collection are Pooja Makhijani's School Lunch, in which a girl is embarrassed that her... |

| 4. |  | A Little Too Much Is Enough (Norton paperback fiction) from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $17.95 Customer Review: "A Little Too Much Is Enough" may not be a novel, but it is a delightful, imaginary memoir of growing up in Hawaii in the '50s.

| 5. |  | People of the Book: A Novel from Viking Adult Price: $16.29 Customer Review:  It was difficult to decide what was more disappointing: the poor narrative or the incredibly poor knowledge of the history in general, and of the region Ms. Brooks writes about in her "People of the Book". Since a lot has been said about the former in other reviews, I will comment on the latter. |

| 7. |  | Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $10.17 Customer Review: For starters, this is not BK's most well written book. However, I have traveled with her (metaphorically) by way of her novels, appearance on NOW as well as a journey of a family, so I found it to be delightful. I also purchased this book in the autumn of the year and read a bit from her... |

| 9. |  | America: Religions and Religion from Wadsworth Publishing Price: $76.45 Customer Review: I used this book for an undergraduate course. The prose is easy to read.

| 10. |  | The Book Thief from Knopf Books for Young Readers Price: $9.59 Customer Review: I really didn't know what I was getting into when I bought this book based solely on the buzz I was hearing about it. I had heard it was set in WWII Germany and the narrator was Death. With that very small introduction, I dove into the book. Writing Style For the most part, I really... |
