This month I read a couple of great books and was reminded of a book that I personally really enjoyed reading. I decided I will update this blog monthly with (hopefully) three books that I have read and will recommend:
This book is about the survival of Louie Zamperini who had an incredible life as an Olympic athlete, an enlisted officer, a plane crash survivor, a prisoner of war, and the list goes on. His story is simply told by Laura Hillenbrand and it is an absolutely incredible story -- you will not believe that it is true. I really recommend reading this book -- it will make you realize how resilient we all are.
This is a story about a family's love, loss, scandal and survival -- all told from their loyal dog's perspective. The book is funny, sad and entirely entertaining. Especially if you have a dog, this is a must read.
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand

This is a story of the New York food scene, told by the NYT food columnist. The book is really funny and insightful because she wears different disguises and adopts different personas when going to the new hot spots in town. Instead of getting the great treatment that you would expect for the reviewer, she is often treated with disdain and impatience when dressed as an elderly woman, an overweight woman, a homely woman. It is really entertaining and I am sure it made restauranteurs blush. Plus, she gives some of her favorite recipes!
