McCullough’s 17-hour audio book took me on a journey to Paris. I love American history, but this was something a bit different covering Americans in Paris from 1830 to 1900. It transformed my thinking about what it must have been like to travel or live in France as an American in this volatile period in French history. I learned so much about a broad cross section of artists, doctors, writers, politicians and architects and their profound impact on America from their experiences. I really enjoyed this book.

Like many teenagers, Foer spent much of his young adult years oscillating between omnivore and vegetarian, confused about his position. But on the brink of fatherhood, responsible for the dietary choices of another being, his casual questioning took on urgency. Carefully researched and written in the same compelling humor and style of Everything is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Eating Animals is a mix of philosophy, literature, science, memoir, and Foer's own detective work, exploring the many fictions we use to justify our eating habits.
