Best Food Writing 2007 and Best American Essays 2005: I’m sure I have told you many tiresome times how I am always tempted by anthologies, how they are perfect for airplane reading (I started both of these during the Thanksgiving/Christmas travel season and finished them off in early January), and how they amuse me in the short term but leave me feeling mildly unfulfilled (since there’s no chance to get in-depth/obsessed with any one story or writer’s voice). I have several more on my TBR list, but have to be sure to space them out over the course of the year to mitigate that nagging pointless feeling.
Out of the Wild, by Sarah Beth Durst: Sequel to Into the Wild, which I read a few months ago—not the Everest book, but a clever YA riff on fairy tales. The sequel was equally inventive and enjoyable, but didn’t leave me wanting more like the McKay book did.
