I just read "What to Eat" by Marion Nestle. It wasn't as good as her more political books about how the US government and meat/dairy/biotech lobbyists are preventing food safety and destroying our planet.

"The Kite Runner" was also a good one I just read. Slow starting, but it really was thought-provoking without providing any easy answers.

"Prep" by Curtis Sittenfeld was also great, like a modern-day Catcher in the Rye. But I can't really recommend "Journey to the East" by Herman Hesse because it was so boring and somewhat predictable.

Can you tell I just buy random cheap books from the thrift store?
