    Finoy Foodies - June Book Discussion

    Because we love food second to books (order of importance may change depending on time of day), the Flippers will tackle a culinary theme this June. To narrow down the countless choices of books, we zoom in on Filipino food.

    See you all
    on June 20, 2009. Saturday. 2PM
    at Katre Mediterranean Restaurant, 103 Dr. Lascano St. Brgy. Laging Handa, Quezon City

    Greetings! Just a quick note to say hello and check out what your summer reading list! I was grateful for your Sidney Sheldon review, I've yet to read any of his novels. I still think and discuss "Noli Me Tangere" frequently with friends, thanks for your recommendation. I've yet to read "Nick" by Joaquin, but I'm hoping to read it soon. Best wishes, Scott
