From My Bookshelf

To keep busy and yet not spend any more money, I’m re-reading some of my book collection. I may even splurge from time to time and buy a new book.
The Book of Vice by Peter Sagal of NPR’s Wait Wait... Don’t Tell Me!
Mr. Sagal goes on an exploration of various vices, from swinging (not the playground kind) to eating, to gambling. Right now I’m up to Eating, but eagerly anticipating Pornography. So far it’s funny - of course - and fairly creepy. Which is the point, I think.
Quote: '...so we can be certain, as we dig into our pork tenderloin with the demi-apricot glace, that the meat comes from an animal whose throat was cut by someone it knew and trusted. There are those who say that the ironic betrayal adds piquancy to the flesh.'
