If you've ever wondered what liquor to drink with your bestseller, you'll be happy to know that Ryan Gielen compiled a list of what booze go with what bestseller. What really stood out for me was that The Steve Jobs bio book goes well with a drink called "The Evil Genius" which incorporates five liquors -- now there's a book with "buzz." As well, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo bestseller drink is called The Swedish Fish which is a mix of vodka and curacao liqueur and a splash of Sprite. I usually drink hot chocolate when I read, but after reading this, I think I'll be more adventurous the next time I pick up my next bestseller.
Literacy is important in any society; if you like to drink a little cocktail while reading, then why not?
