- Love your life : a novel / by Kinsella, Sophie,author.;
"Call Ava romantic, but she thinks love should be found in the real world, not on apps that filter men by height, job, or astrological sign. She believes in feelings, not algorithms. So after a recent breakup and dating app debacle, she decides to put love on hold and escapes to a remote writers' retreat in coastal Italy. She's determined to finish writing the novel she's been fantasizing about, even though it means leaving her close-knit group of friends and her precious dog, Harold, behind. At the retreat, she's not allowed to use her real name or reveal any personal information. When the neighboring martial arts retreat is canceled and a few of its attendees join their small writing community, Ava, now going by 'Aria,' meets 'Dutch,' a man who seems too good to be true. The two embark on a baggage-free, whirlwind love affair, cliff-jumping into gem-colored Mediterranean waters and exploring the splendor of the Italian coast--stretches of beaches, architectural wonders, aromas of olive groves and lemontrees, signature orecchiette pasta, and rainbow-colored houses that line the shore. Things seem to be perfect for Aria and Dutch. But then their real identities--Ava and Matt--must return to London. As their fantasy starts to fade, they discover just how different their personal worlds are. From food choices to annoying habits to sauna etiquette ... are they compatible in anything? And then there's the prickly situation with Matt's ex-girlfriend, who isn't too eager to let him go. As one mishap follows another, it seems while they love each other, they just can't love each other's lives. Can they reconcile their differences to find one life together?"--- Subjects: Chick lit.; Humorous fiction.; Man-woman relationships; Writers' retreats;

- Lollapalooza : the uncensored story of alternative rock's wildest festival / by Bienstock, Richard,author.; Beaujour, Tom,author.; Thayil, Kim,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references.The definitive, no-holds-barred oral history of 1990s alt-rock festival Lollapalooza -- told by the musicians, roadies, and industry insiders who lived it. In Lollapalooza: The Uncensored Story of Alternative Rock's Wildest Festival, authors Richard Bienstock and Tom Beaujour tell the no-holds-barred history of the iconic music festival. Through hundreds of new interviews with artists, tour founders, festival organizers, promoters, publicists, sideshow freaks, stage crews, record label execs, reporters, roadies and more, Lollapalooza chronicles the tour's pioneering 1991-1997 run, and, in the process, alternative rock's rise -- as well as the reverberations that led to a massive shift in the music industry and the culture at large. Lollapalooza features original interviews with some of the biggest names in music, including Perry Farrell and Jane's Addiction, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails, Sonic Youth, Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, Ice-T, Rage Against the Machine, Green Day, Patti Smith, Alice in Chains, Metallica and many more. Conceived by Farrell as a farewell tour for Jane's Addiction, Lollapalooza's inaugural outing across the U.S. in the summer of 1991 helped to coalesce an ideology and aesthetic that not only washed over popular music but seeped into fashion, film, television, literature, food, politics and more. Throughout the decade, Lollapalooza offered a vast and diverse ensemble of bands, breaking barriers of genre and uniting alternative rock, heavy metal, punk, hip-hop, industrial, goth, avant-garde, spoken word, electronic dance music and other styles under one big tent, and setting the template for the modern American music festival and the scores of other contemporary destination fests that are now an integral part of how audiences experience live music. Unorthodox not just in music, Lollapalooza also spotlighted visual arts, nonprofit organizations, political outfits and even the occasional freak show, offering a tantalizing cocktail of culture, art, and activism that, taken together, defined the alternative mindset that dominated the 1990s. Echoes of its impact reverberate strongly today -- cemented by annual sell-outs at destination events all over the world, an estimation of 400,000 attendees at the flagship Chicago fest each summer, and a spot among the world's largest and longest-running music festivals. A nostalgic look back at 1990s music and culture, Lollapalooza traces the festival's groundbreaking origins, following the tour as it progresses through the decade, and documenting the action onstage, backstage, and behind-the-scenes in detailed and uncensored and sometimes shocking first-person accounts. This is the story of Lollapalooza and the 1990s alternative rock revolution.- Subjects: Lollapalooza (Festival); Alternative rock musicians; Road crews (Concert tours); Rock music festivals; Rock musicians; Sound recording executives and producers; Alternative rock music; Rock music;

"Forget everything you thought you knew about Italian cooking. In Italy, cooks throw away their garlic cloves, don't stir their polenta, make massive meatballs that are tender and light, and never hover over their pans of risotto. True Italian cooking is simple, surprising, and so much more interesting than what we commonly believe. Backroads Italy gives readers a seat at the table with cooks across Italy who share the real recipes for the foods we love, as well as the stories of the people, places, and ingredients behind them. After years scouring Italy from Lombardia to Calabria and from Sardinia to Sicily in search of fresh takes on classic recipes, the Milk Street team challenges our assumptions about Italian food, covering both traditional favorites and new to you finds. You'll learn about the real fettucine Alfredo -- which never includes cream -- to the perfect torta Barozzi, which has drawn crowds to a Modena pastry shop for nearly 140 years, to unexpected ingredients like fermented chili paste. Along with these exclusive recipes, this comprehensive guide to true Italian cooking includes approachable basics, such as sauces, from scratch pastas, and a list of everything you need on hand for a well stocked pantry"--- Subjects: Cookbooks.; Recipes.; Cooking, Italian.;
