Reading Is Sexy

So, quelle surprise, I adored Frank Bruni's book, Born Round. It's a fast, funny, and sometimes sad read that takes you through his life--from very early childhood to right about now. There were points in the book when I felt almost embarrassed for my food journalist-hero, but he writes with such confidence that any worry I had for him eventually turned into admiration. I'm not the only one gushing about this memoir, I know, but it deserves to be touted. Who else but Frank Bruni can talk about weight problems and self-doubt with such elegance? What a man.
