A Year in Provence, by Peter Mayle

I just finished A Year in Provence, by Peter Mayle, and it was delightful. And oh, it's the sort of book that must be read with a good cup of coffee or glass of wine in hand. Or maybe some good cheese. But the descriptions of the food were mouth-watering, and now I want to drop this whole astronomy business and buy a vineyard somewhere. That's probably a bit impractical, but another side effect of this book is that now I'm really excited about my upcoming trip to Europe. (I leave on Friday!)

I haven't had much time to read lately, and I wasn't sure what to bring with me on the plane this weekend. However, I have just now learned that You'll Never Nanny in This Town Again is in at the library, so now I have something fluffy to read on the plane. I'll probably also bring Wives and Daughters, by Elizabeth Gaskell, which I am late reading (as usual) for Chicklit. I'm really enjoying it, but I haven't had time to really sink into it lately.
