Ann Handley,
Yep, I agree totally. Not sure if you listened to the podcast where I mentioned it, but my favorite of Gary’s descriptions was the one about the slim jim wrapped in fruit-roll-up. I just have to taste that for myself!

Thanks for the comments!

What I love about Gary Vee’s book is the way he gets real with his wine descriptions – comparing mouthfuls of wine to “Sour Patch kids candy” or its nose “like walking through Grand Central Station.” That, and he’s the rest deal.

I do often buy business or non fiction books thinking they will be “good” for me to read but once I start, I drift away or put it down for some good fiction.

I have a few hundred books on writing, Laura, and while I’ve published a few poems and short stories, won’t consider myself a REAL writer until I have a novel published. (Working on it!)
Hundreds of cookbooks, Ann, and I rarely consult them, instead cooking “the same old thing” night after night.
Dozens of books on Native American topics because I did a workshop in Santa Fe several years ago and became obsessed with everything to do with the culture. I think I’ve actually read all of those!
Perhaps a few hundred craft/decorating books; came by that one honestly because I owned a counted cross stitch shop for several years and needlework was an all-consuming passion.
Many, many self-help books…not many read, so I still need fixin’!
Lots and lots set in South Carolina’s lowcountry because I moved here 4 years ago, after 29 years of freezing my fanny off in northeastern Ohio! Seriously, this area inspires the writer and poet in me because it’s achingly beautiful and speaks to my soul.
Nuff said…thanks for asking!
