Restless by William Boyd

My first foray into the genre of spy thiller and I'm liking it. I particularly liked the format of the novel with the interplay between the two generations. The only criticism I have is that the very last paragraph seems completely out of place. Until that point the writing style is straight-forward and down-to-earth and the poetry and flowery language of the last paragraph just does not fit for me. We're discussing this at book club tomorrow so I can write more after that.

The Making of a Chef by Mark Ruhlman

Loved this book. I think I may have liked Soul of a Chef a little better, but both are truly required reading if you want to understand the philosophy and driving force behind the great chefs.
