#5: Kick Out the Fries, Motherf…..
Continuing our countdown of all-time bestsellers at the store is Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation.
Schlosser’s book has already been praised here by yours truly. But it also happens to be one of Javier’s favorites, too. With a fictional film based on the book coming out soon, Schlosser’s work is shaping up to be one of the most influential pieces of contemporary journalism. And why not? The book is highly readable and highly informative--one gets the sense throughout that he’s really done his homework. Whether you want to or not, it’ll make you think twice before hitting the drive-thru at Mickey D’s.

i haven't read Fast Food Nation yet. I did read Reefer Madness, which i liked a great deal. Though (this is the most exciting to me) I've heard Eric Schlosser is working on a book about the American Prison System. I'm anxious to read it.
K,
But have you read the one about the St. Louis kid who made good after moving to Milwaukee, and who’s coming back to the Lou this month in a big way? Oh wait, that’s you!
