David Potter - 2015
Carb-heavy diets lead to big-time inflammation, and inflammation leads to everything you don’t want: heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Lou Gehrig’s disease. Neurologist David Perlmutter forks over the straight scoop in Grain Brain, laying out data to back up his claims in such a convincing presentation you’ll let go of the conviction that a slice of whole wheat bread is “good” for you.In this detailed summary, you’ll find out how foods you think are healthy, like orange juice, low-fat milk, agave nectar or whole grain pasta, set your grey matter on fire.

Cutting-edge research shows dietary choices either help us or hurt us, and this summary is packed with information to help you keep your brain sharp and nimble while cultivating vital health in your body.There’s no pill or protocol to fix a faulty brain, so prevention is the best bet for keeping your marbles. Start by going over Dr. Perlmutter’s “Hazard Zone” list to determine your risk factors for developing brain disease.

The P**e in the Jam Tart
K.L. Smith - 2017
Trying her hardest to ignore her husband’s affair with his secretary, and doing her best to do her son’s homework to the best of her (and Google’s) ability, combined with a job she hates and a deep routed fear that she may be a racist and just not know it, her life is a trial to navigate - particularly when her head is buried permanently in the sand to avoid having to confront anything. One morning during breakfast, Claire’s head comes hurtling out of the sand at warp speed after – what she refers to as ‘the jam tart incident’. It is the straw that broke the camel’s back. After the first outburst of her life, gone is the mild-mannered lady who would turn the other cheek and pretend everything was fine, and in her place, is a grumpy middle-aged woman -clad in Shaun-the-sheep slippers - unable to control her temper. A down to earth comedy - poking fun at our politically correct times, religion and our love of stereotypes. Possibly a book to avoid if you are of a religious disposition.
