Candy Freak

I'm about halfway through a bargain book find, Candy Freak: A Journey Through the Chocolate Underbelly of America by Steve Almond. I picked it up at Borders to peruse while drinking a cup of relief on Friday night. I didn't think it would be interesting enough to read the whole book, I figured I'd flip through it while there and put it back. But it is surprisingly interesting and I decided to spring for the $4.00 to make the book mine. For the record, while I enjoy candy, I am not a candy freak. And I had no idea that people like the author existed!! It's kinda neat to read people's memories of their childhood favorite candies. For the author's website: go here.
