I Want To Go Eat

Uninspired NonFiction

How the Dog Became the Dog: from wolves to our best friends by Mark Derr. ...by eating the kitchen garbage, chewing on tissues, sleeping on the couch, pooping on the driveway, barking at the grass/air/leaves/imaginary squirrels.

New Dimensions in Bead and Wire Jewelry by Margot Potter. New dimensions? Like parallel dimensions?

Top 10 Beijing by DK Eyewitness. I heard few years ago that you cannot make even the vaguest protest action outside Tiananmen Square without having secret police beat the snot out of you and throw you in the back of a black van.

Discover China by Lonely Planet. "Experience the best of China." Like dog meat and pollution.

Tolstoy and the Purple Chair by Nina Sankovitch. Well, it's not like your going to actually read Tolstoy, is it?
