Isn’t it great that books allow you to escape into someone else’s life for a while? I especially enjoy the juicy, tell-all confessionals that give me a peek into a certain profession or lifestyle. Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain and Waiter Rant by Steve Dublanica are great examples. If you enjoy this aspect of reading, you might also try:
Cruise Confidential: A Hit Below the Waterline by Brian David Bruns.
Operating Room Confidential: What Really Goes On When You Go Under by Paul Whang
Concierge Confidential by Michael Fazio
Plane Insanity: A Flight Attendant's Tales of Sex, Rage and Queasiness at 30,000 Feet by Elliott Hester
And I’m sure you’ve always wondered what it is like to work in a public library. If I’m right, try Quiet, Please: Dispatches from a Public Librarian by Scott Douglas.
