Book Review: Under the Tuscan Sun
Under the Tuscan Sun, by Frances Mayles.
This is the one where the guy goes to live in Provence. I haven't read it all the way through, but it seems like it's going to be pretty good. I think it's pretty recent too. The cover isn't that attractive, and the pages stain easily. Over all I would give it a 6 out of 10. (Maybe a 7.5 when it was new.)
UPDATE!
Ok in the version of the book I have, an English guy goes to live in Provence, in France. Some troll has started posting crank comments about some other book, or a different edition or something, by a woman who went to live in Italy.
We have a really unusual community going here, and 99% of the contributions are brilliant. So I hate to start moderating the comments. But unproductive, uncivil comments will not be tolerated. Keep them on topic: Under the Tuscan Sun, a book about (hello?) France. Or they will be deleted.
Thanks!

Arlington ok I admit I'm copying your guitar review. My strength as a humorist is that the littlest thing is endlessly funny to me. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking it's important to entertain others, what kind of nonsense is that? Imagine a corporate executive focusing his career on excelling, not in greed, but in serving the shareholders. Pphhht!
duude have you sean beer frame? taht guy revieews books an recrods an only talks about teh pysical ojbjecct like ur doiing. wihch i whtought was realy great an stil do.
er. i hoap that didn come off liek 'ha ha its beeen done u losar' or antyithng.
No dude I was anyway copying it from "Out of the box" wargame reviews, which, they review the component quality and say "well I haven't played it but I think you should make these rule changes."
Yeah people still make paper wargames.
Also I hate to toot my own horn but K asked me about that book this morning, hey, Project, have you read "Under the Tuscan Sun" and I said yeah, yeah, it's the one where he lives in Provence. And she started laughing at me! Turns out, whoa, I just read the title and it's NOT the one in Provence. It's somewhere in Italy or something.
im htigmking this is defanatalay to subtle. i hada read the hoal amezan page before i relized there was the othar book.
but o wel. i dont think nobodys reconized my subtital yet about the emu.
Yeah, I guess so. Same deal with the Michael Chertoff thing probably, it wasn't that funny unless the reader clicked on the link or was enough of a news junky to recognize him.
But here's the problem. If I punch the thing too hard it stops being funny to me. And after all who am I trying to entertain here?
Emu? I seem to dimly remember you calling a cassowary an emu and giving a picture of an ostrich, or something like that. Or am I imagining that?
teh subtital. 'wel ill be a pie-eyed emu'.
Oh I remember that from those old sci fi collections, it was a formula for some super secret weapon or something. Don't remember who wrote the story tho.
um. imprety sure tuscenys on anothar planat. thats where the raiders are form in theat movie. but i think the erth ones in spain.
u cant censer me man. this place is a totel facist.
Tuscany is in France, "dude." Google it.
Ok Google seems to have it wrong.
Tucson is in Arizona if that helps.
Holy crap, you're right!
