Welcome to Litsy!

First off, trigger warning for diet culture and eating disorders, particularly anorexia. This book deals heavily with anorexia and the toxic diet industry, so please be aware of that. I thought the book did a good job exploring these two topics. I found all the discussion on the diet industry and how it is designed to fail to be so fascinating.

"Only when every politician mastered his stomach would the country be liberated from corruption. Om."

Quote by a former politician-turned-ascetic and definitely some interesting food for thought from my pick for #foodandlit Nepal ??

Krakauer was on an assignment to Mt Everest, to write an article for Outdoor Magazine. He joined a guide led by Rob Hall. A mix of weather, inexperience among climbers in the group, poor decisions and a lack of communication, mostly due to lack of oxygen, the trek became fatal.
Date nite to Royal Spice, a local Nepalese/Indian restaurant. I had Newari Khaja with goat, naan, and Nepalese rice pudding. #FoodandLit

A collection of short stories. Each story centered around a character's passion - friendship, lust, a mother's love - and multiply the passion tenfold in the larger context. I was highly engaged and couldn't wait to start the next story. #FoodandLit #LitsyAtoZ@Texreader @Catsandbooks

Yay! A quote about food for #foodandlit and perfect for Valentine‘s Day with a little romance. #Nepal

This is a terrible audiobook (the narrator is quite good though) so I‘ve moved to the ebook. The book bounces around between countless characters and through time and seemingly at random. I was in a constant state of confusion. Reading the ebook is so much better.
