Book thoughts of the day

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested....Francis (1561-1626)
I added to this "and some you just want to throw across the room as a complete waste of time".

I thought this would make a great question/answer session. Which books fit which category? The first 'taste' are summer reads, or books you dip into, return to, or yes, even cookbooks! Swallowed, would include my favourite authors, and chewed and digested are specials, like all of Robertson Davies, Non-fiction as a category! John McPhee or Edward Hoagland - books/essays  you return to again and again.

and yours?!

Last week we added blog readers from the Philippines and from Arkansas! As well as someone from Victoria in Australia. Welcome all! Happy reading. Look forward to your book recommendations as well.
