1. BOOK CLUB NAMES that are far better than "foodie book club:"
:: Words To Cook By
:: Words To Eat by
:: The Culinary Words
:: Eating Our Words
:: Food For Thought
2. choices for the FIRST BOOK TO READ (this was hard! i said i would whittle the list down to 5, but i couldn't do it! this was the best i could do! but that's good. there's a lot of great books out there for us to devour:
Consuming Passions:A Food Obsessed Life by Michael Lee West
Food in History by Reay Tannahill
The Making of a Chef: Mastering Heat at the Culinary Institute by Michael Ruhlman
My Life in France by Julia Child
Waiter Rant: Thanks for the Tip--Confessions of a Cynical Waiter by Steve Dublanica
Broccoli and Other Tales of Food and Love by Lara Vapnyar
The Tenth Muse: My Life in Food
3. if you had it your way, would we decide every book by vote like this or would a different member choose the new book every month?
thanks! can't wait to get going. let's pick a book!

How exciting.
I vote for:
Consuming Passions:A Food Obsessed Life by Michael Lee West
and Food for Thought.
I'm good either way on the way we choose a book.
Woops! I almost completely missed this post!

I think it'd be fun to take turns chosing a book, but I'd be fine with voting as well. I'm excited!

I don't know on the choosing part. Voting is OK, unless you never get your pick, lol. Chosing is OK if you're in the first dozen or so. I'm a lot of help, aren't I?
Name: Food for Thought
Book: Consuming Passions
Maybe each month a different person can suggest a list of 3 or so books and the rest vote on them.
Thank you for the reminder! I've been so busy with my kids' school the last couple of days.
Here are my picks:
Name--Eating Our Words
Book--Broccoli and Other Tales of Food and Love
I think that it would be fun if one person a month could post two books to choose from and then everyone would vote on it. :)
I, too, like Eating Our Words.
For the book? I haven't read any of them, the Broccoli one sounds good.
I am also going to give the book club info to a friend.
