I'll Eat My Words!

Go read Blake Eskin's Essay in today's NYT Book Review, Books to chew on, about The International Edible Book Festival, which takes Frances Bacon's words to heart (and digestive tract):

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.

Here's the link to the festival. Check out the appetizing "books" in the photo gallery. Got to love any festival whose website states in the FAQ: "April fools day is also the perfect day to eat your words and play with them."

Getting hungry; better go try to finish a book before bedtime.
