I admit to some curiousity about japanese country cookbook by ryoichi Kokku 1969 [**] and great hilarity around the foods of the world and dan brown.

I'm curious about A History of Private Life vol 1:From pagan rome to byzantium

What version of OS X does Mac OS X: The Missing Manual by David Pogue cover? Is it relevant anymore? (I have a QA engineer who will be using OS X for the first time who could possibly benefit.)

I'd like some cookbooks. I like rich, fatty foods full of dead animals, cheese, cream, and more fat. What do you recommend?

The history of private life is kinda neat in places, if you can get by the fact that about 30% of the first chapter is Lacanian bullshit. I couldn't get past that. Hence, my not wanting it.

I think it's 10.1 or something; not very recent.

If that's what you like, I'd recommend one of the Italian cookbooks. By any chance, can you read Italian?

Hmm. Between my Latin and my love of Italian food, I might be able to read an Italian cookbook. However, I could see situations where that could go horribly wrong...
