Abominations - by Lionel Shriver
This book was good read. Many of the pieces were thought-provoking. A few were amusing. All were well-written, as I would expect from this author. Some of the political views expressed are at variance with my own, but it is good to read well-written and carefully thought through articles that explain different points of view coherently.

Taste - by Stanley Tucci
Reading a memoir, by someone with whom you are familiar, should leave you with the feeling that you know them a little better than you did before - a bit like spending time with an acquaintance can progress them towards being a friend. On this basis, this book delivered. I knew that Stanley was keen on food and cooking. His discussion of this topic in the framework of talking about his life shows clearly that food is a passion for him. And it’s quite infectious. The inclusion of a few favourite recipes from time to time is definitely “added value”.
