Illustration for the main competitive eating competition: Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island every July 4th. It happens on July 4th because nothing says “Freedom” like eating 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes… oh wait, my bad, that’s 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes. I wrote a rant about the “sport” here.

The back flap showcases praises from other authors, editors and such including “If you are going to read only one book on the Manichaean struggle between East and West, this is the book.” [...]

Edgar Allan’s Pick
Monday, June 7th, 2010There are thousands of great books to read (many of them classic literature), so why not choose one? There are so many great books, you could use an extra pair of hands and an extra life to read them all! *Note, there are also thousands of terrible modern books.
