Our favorite reads is about the books that we read and enjoy. Since we are a food company much of what we read is about food, but we do occasionaly read novels and/or whatever we find interesting. We hope that you will want to read some of these books yourself. Perhaps some of them will inspire you as they have inspired us to learn more about the world we live in and the challenges we face while, at the same time, gaining a better understanding of ourselves.
If you're getting tired of the New York Times Best Seller List perhaps it's time to read something older, maybe something written before you were born. I recommend Lost Horizon written in 1933 by James Hilton. We know that eating in moderation may be one of the keys to longevity but this book is about "everything in moderation even moderation itself". This is a very clever, funny and well written novel about a Himalayan utopia, where by living a life of moderation people live far beyond the normal lifespan; this is the original Shangri-la based on Shambhala, a mystical Buddhist city. A very entertaining book and one of Franklin Roosevelt's favorites. In 1942 he named the presidential retreat, now known as Camp David, Shangri-La. One more interesting titbit of information is that this book was the first ever paperback.
