About this ebook
The definitive guide to pairing books and booze—includes recipes!
A bubbly, boozy French 75 with The Great Gatsby. Trappist beer with Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose. Old vine California Zinfandel with The Grapes of Wrath. And don’t you dare open Bram Stoker’s Dracula on a Sunday morning without a Bloody Mary near at hand. Want to know what to pour when your book club meets? Then you need Literary Libations!
Organized by genre, Literary Libations offers pairing recommendations for nearly two hundred works of fiction—plus fascinating background information on both the books and the beverages.
“Serves up cocktails with a humorous twist . . . Equal parts cookbook, history lessons, and book club fare.” —Mail Tribune
