Julia Gets Bumped

I've had every intention of writing at least one post about Julia Child this week. I have her My Life in France book and a biography sitting right here on my desk.

Every night I grab Scott Smith's The Ruins though. It's only his second book (he wrote A Simple Plan years ago, also a great film with Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton) and I've heard nothing but raves. Two young couples travel to Mexico for vacation and Something Awful happens when they venture into the jungle to visit some ruins. I haven't gotten to the Something Awful yet, but I can't wait to find out what it is.

I guess Julia will have to wait.
