Lauren Hillenbrand's Unbroken, the story of Olympic runner/WWII POW Louis Zamperini.  Hard to put down.  Author and subject have never met due to Hillenbrand's illness, but have become close friends.

As for what to take away from it, I think it's the idea that everything is built upon something else.  Everything is interconnected, even the smallest moments.


And that often the most profound attachments arise from apparent randomness, like Gloria adopting Jasmine's daughters.  I too found this book haunting and compelling; McCann writes so evocatively about love and loss.

Since neither gent seems in need of anything material, how about a contribution in each man's name to his favorite charity?

I had to make Simca's chocolate cherry cake three times before it worked - couldn't get the chocolate to behave. Mustard batons from Dorie Greenspan's new book may or may not be edible; I need to accept the fact that my hands are too hot for pastry. But we have pistachio dip and crudites, guests are bringing cheese, and the main course - (Julia's creamy mussel soup) is done and delicious. Merry Christmas, all!

I love Mooney, but that has to be one of the dumbest restaurant names ever. Glad to hear it's good, Sneak!
