book roundup in single sentences

xxxiv. the adventures of augie march, saul bellow
a personal epic, as opposed to being a family epic

xxxv. kitchen confidential, anthony bourdain
all this current glamour surrounding the cooking industry belies terribly hard work, it seems

xxxvi. the house of god, samuel shem
a novel about medical internship which changed internships forever (?!), the writing was average and i couldn't actually pick what was so outrageous about it

xxxvii. zeitoun, dave eggers
a non-fiction account of a family's experiences during and post- hurricane katrina, truly horrifying
dave eggers is like bill bryson in that he can publish whatever the hell he wants
