My Finds at the Library

So I am spending some quality time at the library today and I decided to get some biographies because I have not read one in a while. Here is what I got:

Traveling Mercies:Some Thoughts on Faith by Anne Lamott--The minister at my church mentioned here a few weeks ago and she sounds very interesting

My Life as Furry Red Monster: What Being Elmo has Taught Me About Life, Love, and Laughing out Loud by Kevin Clash with Gary Brozek--I have always wondered about the voice behind one of my beloved furry friends

Against All Odds:My Story by Chuck Norris with Ken Abraham--My dad is a big fan of Chuck Norris and I was brought up watching his movies

St. Patrick of Ireland: A Biography by Philip Freeman--St. Patrick had quite the past, from what I heard so this is going to be an interesting read.

Kitchen Confidential:Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain I love watching Anthony Bourdain on the Travel Channel. He is so unlike Rachel Ray and Emeril!

I picked up a copy of the Physician's Desk Reference at the library today. Now I am all set to diagnose everyone's ailments!

I own Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential and have read it cover-to-cover. Just remember, if you don't like cursing, there is some in here. He is very honest about his feelings for the restaurant business. I learned a lot from his books. I love them all - "A Cook's Tour" and "Nasty Bits" included. Enjoy!

Risa-Thanks for the warning. I watch No Reservations, so I am used to the cursing and his frankness, that is one of the things that I like about him
