'Kitchen Confidential' - Anthony Bourdain


Bourdain was an interesting guy and I'm somewhat sad he's not around anymore. His book is what I figured it would be, it's debauched, erratic, loving, hating, glamorizing and shocking about the food service industry at the highest level. Some of what he writes are universal truths to the industry others are specific only to the highest levels of the craft. It is a fun read so far.

Reading one of Roy Kean’s autobiographies, I do not ordinarily read footballers books but have always admired him as a footballer, which was about the end of his career and management. He had a physical fight with Peter Schmeichel where he gave him a black eye. He was let go by Utd because he criticised the players for their 4-1 loss to Middleborough on their in-house channel.

He could have gone to Everton, Real Madrid but chose Celtic as his boyhood club. His management stories were boring but he got Sunderland promoted, messed up Ipswich and did some punditry which he does not enjoy.

Just started 'Devil in The White City' by Erik Larson so far so good, intriguing from the get go!

I have just finished Hannibal Rising which was my first fiction in a while. Next is Douglas Murray's new one. Something about about crowds and how bonkers they are which is one reason I tend to avoid large groups of mentally ill people. One Hannibal is fine, but a crowd of Sociology majors in masks is best avoided.

Just started 'Devil in The White City' by Erik Larson so far so good, intriguing from the get go!

So just to let people know the premise the book is about Chicago's 1893 World's Fair, the architects who built the White City namely Daniel Burnham and Francis Davis Millet ; mentally ill Patrick Eugene Prendergast who was to become the assassin of Chicago's Mayor Carter Harrison Sr. at his home right after the fair; and H.H. Holmes America's first notable serial killer, vicious that one.
