The Food of Love

The Food of Love

By Anthony Capella This was a very different kind of book. It was kind of a sleazy love story, but with a twist. It has a lot of Italian slang in it, with footnotes, as to what the translation is (rated X), and recipes in the back. The ladies in the plot were all pretty shallow - two dimensional characters. You just knew a guy wrote it! The food descriptions however, were exquisite! Even food I would never taste sounded beautiful. When I was looking for a picture of the book online, I discovered Anthony Capella's books all appear to center around FOOD! This one was his first Novel.

A trip to King's Books

On Sunday, we took a rare trip to King's Books in Tacoma. Well, first we went to THE HUB, a nearby restaurant/pub for their delicious breakfasts! Then, once we were stuffed - we went book browsing. King's is a smallish used bookstore. They do have rare books. Walker enjoys looking in their foreign and classical section. They have lots of ordinary used books too. I went with my list, but only found one book to buy - not on my list of course.

One thing we enjoy there is their bookstore cats. They are the friendliest cats! Big and healthy too. Why do bookstores have cats? mice or ambiance?

King's is worth a drive once in a while. They don't open until 11:00 a.m. They buy books too. The Hub is fun (Bicycle theme and always new art on the walls + tvs and sports going in every room). There is an Irish Pub next door we have never tried but looks worth a try.
