One More on the Growing Reading List

Just purchased Calvin Trillin's Feeding a Yen. Trillin, a longtime contributing writer to The New Yorker, has written a number of books, most combining elements of humor, travel, and occasionally political and/or social commentary. Having been born and raised in Kansas City, Trillin writes about Manhattan life through the prism of his folksy Midwestern sensibility... and more often than not, hilarity ensues. Myself having been raised in Kansas City (albeit at a very early age) and also having lived and experienced daily life in the heart of Manhattan, I can relate to the very source of his humor. His Too Soon to Tell had me rolling on the floor. This new book should be even better as it combines three elements of personal interest, i.e., food, travel, and humor. Already a third of the way through and Trillin is true to form.
