7. Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise by Ruth Reichl. LOVED this book. Not only the stuff about food, but the stuff about Ms. Reichl creating disguises so that she could dine anonymously. Really, really interesting.

8. Feed by Mira Grant. Good but not great. Actually, I think it's probably great - it just wasn't what I wanted, somehow. It's very well written, great details, wonderful world-building. But I wasn't emotionally involved in the story.

Although I loved it, I think Feed has some of the same problems that the Larsson's "Girl" books had, wherein the main character has deliberately damped down her emotions, which can make it hard to get into her head and to empathize with her, since she doesn't display much empathy herself.

You have to work a lot harder to connect with the character.

I loved >Garlic and Sapphires too! After that I raced right out to read her other books, but I think G&S might still be my favorite.

I really like Reichl's memoir Tender at the Bone, about her childhood. I like it better than Garlic and Sapphires.

Farley Mowat's memoir Born Naked is one of my favorites.
