Foodie Vlad is a foodie. Also, there's something in there about him interfering in Cawti's life again, allowing him to save her while being a douche. But the primary focus of the novel is clearly dinner at Valabar's.

You just convinced me to pull that Erikson book from my list. Since I have a ton of stuff on it, that's not a hardship. Thanks for the heads-up.

I'd totally be interested in reading Misframing Men, though it'll be while till I can find the time. The Windup Girl sounds good too, think I might have seen it mentioned somewhere previously.

cochese picked up The Windup Girl when he was in Kansas. I'm chomping at the bit to read it, but it's a ways down my to-be-read pile. Might have to move it up. :)

Weirdest thing about reading it for me - because food is such a focus in the book, and the descriptions of smells and tastes are so vivid, I had a massive food craving while reading it. I kept ordering Thai food again and again without quite finding whatever I was craving. I was a tad embarassed when I realised that my sense memory was confused, and had me craving Vietnamese food instead. Although, that led me to finding a really good Vietnamese delivery place, so it's not all bad.

Oh dammit! I was reading the Hugo winners, and now you have me wanting to read the nominees too, and the booklist site I use doesn't have a complete one up, so now I have to create it so I can check them off as I'm done. Crap.

Wise of you to drop Malazan series after tGotM - I had a co-worker feeding them to me, telling me how great they were, so I suffered through to the 3rd book. It's an unrelenting misery-fest by then; I can't imagine what it might be like by book 10.
