Favourite reads for 2012 so far
What (say 5) books have you enjoyed reading the most so far this year?
I'm going to have to go away and think about my list. So many good reads...

You know what? Scrap that. Name a book that has cheese in it. Go!

I'll take the easy one: I Am the Cheese

I haven't read any of those, but I'm assuming they're cheesy?

I haven't read I Am the Cheese, but I've certainly heard about it. It popped into my head, rather than me doing a keyword search, if that's what you're asking!

I have read this (though it's cheating a little, since they're scripts): The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus; All the Words Volume One. It has the cheese shop sketch. :)

I saw 90% of The Notebook on a flight to Darwin, but we landed before it finished. I would never have chosen to see it, but I did really enjoy it. It was very much a girly flick, but it's not what I think of when you say "cheesy".

I'm not letting you off that easy. C'mon, Rida. Surely you've read a book that mentioned cheese at some point....

Yay Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys! I had no idea they'd made a book of that... ahh, another wiki book. Okay, it still counts.

I've been wracking my brain trying to remember which book I read has a teenage boy who smells like cheese in it, but I can't... quite... remember. Yes, really. This has been plaguing my every waking moment for 18 hours now!

I think cheese was one of the ingredients in How to Eat Fried Worms. Wasn't it?

I have this sitting unread on my bookshelf too.
Edward Trencom's Nose: A Novel of History, Dark Intrigue, and Cheese

So in Diary of a Wimpy Kid they have this phenomenon called the "cheese touch." It all started because of a piece of moldy cheese lying on the basketball court at school. If you touch it, you get the "cheese touch" and can only get rid of it by touching someone else. my favorite part is the section entitled "People Known to Have the Cheese Touch."

Excellent! I love that. Like cooties with an aroma :)

As Meat Loves Salt in this book cheese is often eaten. Lol.

Cookbooks would probably be cheating, right?

Then there's always Who Moved My Cheese?

Is it just me, or does the guy on the cover look like he's busy salting his own meat?

LOL. Yeah, I didn't really think this one through!

LOL. Okay, "salting his meat" is going to be my go-to euphemism from now on, I think.

Oh crap. Isn't that how they make jerky?

The Stinky Cheese Man: And Other Fairly Stupid Tales looks fantastic!

FYI - Book covers don't show up well on mobile devices, so if you can use the book title links as well, that would be appreciated. :)

Fun with Milk and Cheese

That FTW! Love that there are toys based on it too.

Terry Pratchett's The Wee Free Men.
The cheese goes native, so to say.

Now I'm intrigued.....!

Have you voted in the group's Pratchett poll? We might end up with that book on the group shelves.

Shall do.

Totally want to like this somehow!


LOL. Okay, "saltin..."

HAHAHAHA! AWESOMEST reference ever! I heart this.

How about this one?

The Cheese and the Worms: The Cosmos of a Sixteenth-century Miller

Never read it but came recommended by a historian colleague of mine.

Wow! That sounds fascinating.
