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!

Katie Holmes as Jackie O. on the cover of last week’s New York Magazine
by Corrie on August 23, 2010
Brilliant idea: Katie Holmes reenacting paparazzo Ron Galella‘s iconic shot of Jackie O. crossing the street. Katie looks (dare I say it?) even more gorgeous than the original, and it’s a great way to usher in Fall Fashion.
