My sister gave me "The Silver Palate Cookbook" which I lost in my divorce. I always love reading the authors' menus and techniques.

My dad gave me "The Eagle Has Flown" by Jack Higgins. It's a World War II fictional thriller and the sequel to "The Eagle Has Landed." I just started it and so far, so great!
