Water for Elephants

It was entertaining. It didn't get into circuses or elephants as much as I hoped it would. The love story was a little weak. I'll be interested to see how they handle the "twist ending" in the movie... probably after it's on netflix and it makes its way through my queue.

The End of Overeating

Got a little repetitive after a while, but it had some interesting ideas and facts. Some really revealing things about the food industry. Like how a lot of the food we eat when we go out have been essentially engineered to be addictive. Foods are described as layers of salt, fat, and sugar, and this layering has a special affect on our brains. 
They keys seem to be to recognize what food really is, and also to change our attitude towards food. Of course to do any of that, you need to think to do it, first. You'll probably like this book if you liked Fast Food Nation or Omnivore's Dilemma.
