My top pick for summer reading
by Corrie on July 25, 2010
Some friends have been asking me for suggestions of good beach reads, and I’ve been telling them how much I looooved Allegra Goodman’s new book, The Cookbook Collector (I reviewed it in the July issue of ELLE). It perfectly sums up the overly optimistic boom-and-bust years of the late 90′s, early 00′s, when everyone was making too much money at or from dot.coms — and wondering how long the party was going to last. I think it’s The Book for my generation (“Love in the Time of the IPO”). Looks like the NY Times agrees that this book a winner: “If you’re hankering for a feast of love, let yourself fall under the spell of Allegra Goodman’s abundantly delicious tale. You won’t leave hungry.” Yum!
